The value for the power transmission capacity of a cable of a particular thickness and
length is given as a PoE class (see table on page 8). This means that the power supply
and full functionality of a PoE end device in the specifi ed class (1 or 2, depending on the
cable cross-section and length) is guaranteed on the Mx2wire receiver unit. The sender
is the Mx2wire unit that is supplied directly from the PoE switch.
Due to physical constraints, cables exceeding a certain length can still transfer data but
not power. When installations have no PoE-supplied end devices (PCs, for example), the
range of the two-wire cable may increase signifi cantly, provided that low data rates are
suffi cient for the application.
note on data Transfer rates and cable Lengths
We have tested the product very carefully and, instead of specifying non-recurrent peak
values, we only provide the important net data rate, which was measured over a long
period of time. However, we can provide
nO GuArAnTEE of possible cable lengths, data rates and power transmission,
as various physical factors are not within the area of responsibility of MOBOTIX (sources
of interference such as machines or power cables, the condition and quality of the
cables used, etc.). The nominal data rate, connection length and power transmission
can only be individually tested and determined at the place of installation.
1.3 Automatic confi guration Of Sender And receiver
When data and power are sent via the two-wire network cable, a (feeding) Mx2wire unit
functions as the sender while the other unit functions as the (data) receiver. Communication
between the Mx2wire units is possible in both directions, as the ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’
roles always confi gure themselves automatically.
