Before mounting the midspan to a fixed location, note the following:
• To ensure weather-proof connection in order to meet IEC60529 level IP67. PoE Midspan DC power plug needs
to be connected to a weather-proof DC power source box.
• Do not cover the midspan or block the airflow to the PoE with any foreign objects.
• Keep the midspan away from excessive heat and free from vibration.
• Ensure that the cable length from the Ethernet network source to the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (333
feet). The midspan is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
• The midspan has no ON-OFF switch, simply plug the midspan into an DC power source.
• PoE Midspan DC power lines should be connected to the socket-outlet that shall be installed near the
equipment and be easily accessible.
