The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2304A, Vi2308A and Vi2316A hubs are revolu-

tionary data transmission devices that extend full-duplex High-Speed 

Ethernet over existing or new UTP infrastructures. They extend 10BaseT 

signals up to 3,000 ft. (909M), 100BaseT up to 2,100 ft. (640m) for 802.3 af 

and 800 ft. (242m) for 802.3 at. They employ MaxiiCopper, an innovative 

and unique Ethernet extension technology, that is designed to take full 

advantage of high-bandwidth UTP cables and maintain a full-duplex 10 or 

100 Mb/s Ethernet connection up to the maximum range - with minimum 

transmission error and latency. Multiple remote network devices such as 

Mega-pixel IP cameras or VoIP can be connected to a central LAN switching 

fabric with ease. Their dual-rate capability provides an easy way to balance 

the best possible network throughput and long-reach distance design. The 

Vi2304A, Vi2308A and Vi2316A support 4, 8 and 16 ports. 1 pair can be 

used for both 10BaseT and 100BaseT signals. 4 Pair is restricted to 

100BaseT use.
These hubs need to be deployed along with Vi2301A on the remote end of 

each UTP cable. They are equipped with LEDs to provide link status and 

configured data rate for each port. They are completely transparent to the 

corporate IP network and higher layer protocols and require no IP program-

ming or other configurations. 

The Vi2308A and Vi2316A are offered in 19 inch 1U height enclosure for 

rack-mount or wall-mount applications. They are ideal for medium to large 

scale IT networking or digital CCTV projects. The UTP cable needs to be 

point to point without any branches.

Important Safety Warning

Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation

- Connect the chassis ground screw to a solid earth ground.

- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT 

  Ethernet port of Vi2304A/Vi2308A/Vi2316A using a standard Cat5/6 cable

  of maximum 100 m in length.

- Connect long UTP cables to the RJ45 connectors of the extender hub.

- Connect the 12V power supply to the power connector of the extender hub.

The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connectors should be “ON” to indicate 

proper connection between the switch and Ethernet ports of 

Vi2304A/Vi2308A/Vi2316A. While the Link LED, Orange for 100BaseT and 

Green for 10BaseT, on the extended side, in a steady state will indicate 

confirmed connection between extenders.       

- Read and keep these instructions.

- Heed all warnings.

- Follow all instructions.

- Do not use this apparatus near water.

- Clean only with a dry cloth.

- Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

- This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all local 

codes.

- DO NOT bundle UTP or UTP signals in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring.

- To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose these products to rain, moisture, 

dripping or splashing.

- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on Vigitron equipment.

- DO NOT install the unit in a place where the operating ambient temperature exceeds 75°C.

- Make sure that the external power supply output voltage is in the recommended range. 

- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other 

apparatus (including DVRs and NVRs) that produce heat.

- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at power source, 

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

- Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus 

has been damaged in any way, such as when a power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 

has been spilled, objects have fallen inside the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to 

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

- The main plug is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.

         WARNING! - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose 

this apparatus to rain or moisture. This apparatus shall not be exposed to 

dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall 

be placed on the apparatus.

         WARNING! - This apparatus is a Class I product. This product must 

be connected to a mains socket outlet thru an AC to DC Power supply.

         WARNING! - The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and 

shall remain readily operable.

- 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.
