Model ET1500CB
Installation and
Operation Manual
Introduction:
The Environmentally Hardened ET1500CB Transmitter is part of an overall system that utilize the existing cable
infrastructure. The ET1500CB Transmitter is designed for use with the ER1500CB or ER8500CB Receiver end units.
Please refer to the ER1500CB or ER8500CB manual for installation and operation related to those units.
The Transmitter works in conjunction with a multi-port receiver and requires very little installation time and no set up or
configuration. These units quickly turn ordinary 75 ohm coax cable into a high speed network communication for
distances up to 500 meters or 1640 feet. The ET1500CB is transparent to the network thus requiring no IP and MAC
addressing. Simply connect your network devices to the networking ports of the transmitter and receiver along with
existing cabling and the system begins communicating. LED indicators show the status of network communication.

ET1500CB Transmitter Installation Recommendations:
The ET1500CB is designed for use with 75 ohm copper based coaxial cable. The quality of which must be consistent
with any reasonably serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in cuts, breaks, or cracks to the outer cov-
ering and insulated shielding which may compromise the signal conductivity of the cable.
The ET1500CB is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of Ethernet TCP/IP data at a maximum distance of
500m / 1,640ft. Before considering this solution be sure that the cables involved do not exceed the recommended maxi-
mum lengths. If the cable distance value is undetermined at the time of installation, we recommend the use of a Time
Domain Reflectometer (TDR) which through the use of short rise time pulses can measure impedance characteristics,
splices, and unknown cable distance estimates.
