2.1 Ethernet Ports
The RDL-2000 has two Ethernet ports (female RJ-45 connectors) to receive DC power
from the PoE and exchange data with the local Ethernet network. Connection for the
Ethernet port to the PoE Adapter is made using an outdoor CAT-5e Ethernet cable. The
maximum total length of the Ethernet cable is 91.5 m (300 ft). For example, 90 m (295 ft)
from the RDL-2000 to the PoE and 1.5 m (5 ft) from the PoE to the network equipment.
Figure 2: System - RDL-2000 Ethernet Ports
The RDL-2000 Ethernet port uses a custom pinout for the PoE signals. All Ethernet
cables from the indoor PoE to the outdoor RDL-2000 must be terminated to match the
specifications in the following table.

1. Color codes are provided for convenience only -- signals must match the RJ-45 connector assignments.
2. Do not terminate wires to these pins on the RJ-45 connector terminating at the RDL-2000 outdoor unit.
Notes:
1.
Ethernet port 1 is factory sealed. Do not removed the factory seal unless both
Ethernet ports are required for this deployment (see following notes).
2.
The two Ethernet ports connect to a single internal switch and connection of both
ports to external network equipment must be configured to avoid layer 2 loops.
3.
The dual Ethernet ports can also be used to implement a full-redundancy (data +
power) solution. Use a standard Ethernet crossover cable to interconnect two RDL-
