Vi2601 Ethernet and PoE Extender over Coax Installation Manual
IP Camera-end Installation
The Smart Choice for Transmission Solutions
www.vigitron.com
- Install a remote extender, Vi2401A or Vi2400A, at the camera side. The
remote extender can be powered in 2 ways.
1- Using Local Power Supply:
Connect a 12 VDC power supply to the power connector of the Vi2401A or
Vi2400A. A power adapter connector is provided to simplify connection to
Vi2401A.
2- Using PoE:
If no local power supply is plugged in, the remote unit will use PoE power
provided by the Vi2601 at the head-end.
- Connect the IP camera RJ45 connector to the “10/100BaseT Ethernet” port
of Vi2401A or Vi2400A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum length of
328 feet (100m).
- Connect the long Coax cable to the “Extended Ethernet” BNC connector of
Vi2401A or Vi2400A.
The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be “ON” to indicate proper
connection between the camera and Vi2401A or Vi2400A.
Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation
The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2601 is a revolutionary transmission device that
extends full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet and High power PoE over Coax
cable infrastructures. It extends 10/100BaseT signals and PoE up to 3,000
feet (914 m). It employs MaxiiCopper™ innovative and unique Ethernet and
PoE 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 Vi2601 is installed at the control room and can provide up to 30W
power to Vi2400A or Vi2401A at the camera side.
The Vi2601 includes unique features that assure high performance required
to support the largest Megapixel cameras. 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 Coax cable needs to be point to point without
any branches. Multiple segments can be joined together using Coax
couplers.
- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port of Vi2601 using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 328 feet
(100 m) in length.
- Connect the long Coax cable to the “Extended Ethernet” BNC connector of
Vi2601.
- Connect the AC power cord of the Vi2601 to the mains.
The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connector should be “ON” to indicate
proper connection between the switch and Vi2601.
When Vi2601 and the remote unit make a connection, the Vi2601 will provide
power to the remote unit and the camera. When the Link LED is on and is in
a steady state it will indicate confirmed connection between extenders.

The Vi2601 and Vi2400A provide a reliable power source for long distance high power installations. The Vi2400A’s
compact size fits in many environmental enclosures such as J-box, 4 square, and back boxes of many IP cameras.
The Vi2601 and Vi3205 eliminate the need for any local network switch power, while providing a single coax path
for transmitting four cameras from remote locations. This combination simplifies installation and reduces costs.
