Installation
Once the CL1300R is properly configured, it is ready to connect to the CopperLink interface and to the power
source. This section explains how to make these connections.

Connecting the CopperLink interface
The CL1300R supports communication between two or more Ethernet devices as follows:
Using 24 AWG (0.5 mm) wire up to:
•
22,500 feet (6.9 km) at 192 kbps
•
9,000 feet (2.74 km) at 5696 kbps
Two things are essential:
1.
These units work in pairs with any CL1300 model. Every local CopperLink port should connect to a
remote CopperLink port.

2.
To function properly, the CL1300R needs one twisted pair of metallic wire. This twisted pair must be
unconditioned, dry, metallic wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm) (the higher number
gauges will limit distance). Standard dial-up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run through signal
equalization equipment, or standard, flat modular telephone type cable, are not acceptable.
The RJ-45
CopperLink
connector on the CL1300R’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired
for a two-wire interface.
