the Ethernet cable connection. 
 

Users who have already purchased the Compex PoE and who wish to use it to 
supply power to the Compex WP18 may follow the installation procedures as 
shown below: 
 

 

Follow the same procedure as described in the 

Option One

. And also refer to 

Appendix C (in user’s manual) for configuring the jumper JP01 before 
proceeding to Step 2. 
 
 

 

Use an RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet 
socket of the Injector and the other end to the 

Port 4 

(PoE Port) of Compex 

WP18. 
 
 
 

 

 
 
For Compex PoE, the recommended length of the RJ45 Category 5 cable is 
up to 50 metres.
