Important Safety Warning

- If you like to power the unit using a local power supply connect the 12VDC
  power supply to the power connector of the Vi2301A. A power adapter
  connector is provided to simplify connection.
- If no power supply is plugged in the unit will use PoE. When using PoE the
  camera has to be powered by PoE also.  
- Connect the IP camera RJ45 connector to the “10/100BaseT Ethernet” port 
  of Vi2301A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m in length.
- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the “Extended Ethernet” RJ45
  connector of Vi2301A.

The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be “ON” to indicate proper 
connection between the camera and Vi2301A.

Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation

- If you like to power the unit using a local power supply connect the 12VDC
  power supply to the power connector of the Vi2301A. A power adapter
  connector is provided to simplify connection.
- If no power supply is plugged in the unit will use PoE. When using PoE the
  camera has to be powered by PoE also. 
- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT 
  Ethernet port of Vi2301A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 
  328 feet (100 m) in length.
- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the “Extended Ethernet” RJ45
  connector of Vi2301A.

The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connector should be “ON” to indicate 
proper connection between the switch and Vi2301A. While the Link LED, 

Orange for 100BaseT and Green for 10BaseT, in a steady state will indicate 
confirmed connection between extenders.

Up to 3,000 ft.

(914 m) UTP

The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2301A is a revolutionary data transmission 

device that extends full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over existing UTP 

infrastructures. It extends 10BaseT signals up to 3,000 feet (914 m) and 

100BaseT up to 2,100 feet (640m). It employs 

MaxiiCopper

 innovative 

and unique Ethernet extension technology that is designed to take full 

advantage of high-bandwidth networking cables and maintain a full-duplex 

10 or 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection up to the maximum range with 

minimum transmission error and latency.   

The Vi2301A can connect multiple remote network devices such as 

Mega-pixel IP cameras or VoIP to a central LAN switching fabric with ease.  

Its dual-rate capability feature provides an easy way to balance the best 

possible network throughput and long-reach distance design.

The Vi2301A is a transceiver device and it needs to be deployed on both 

ends of the UTP cable as master and slave devices respectfully via setting a 

dip switch.  A second dip switch sets the data rate between the remote and 

central locations.   It is equipped with LEDs to provide link status and 

configured data rate.  No IP setting or configurations are required and it is 

completely transparent to the corporate IP network and higher layer 

protocols. The UTP cable needs to be point to point without any branches. 

Multiple segments can be joined together using UTP couplers.
