FLEX-Link Quick Install Guide
The FLEX-Link adapter enables extended Ethernet and PoE reach beyond traditional
distances using 1, 2 or 4 pair UTP infrastructure. When paired with the FLEX24 Switch, FLEX8
Switch or FLEX-Base Extender, the adapter delivers 10/100Mbps, symmetrical full duplex.
The FLEX offering is designed specifically to enable easy deployment over Multi-Pair UTP for
reaches beyond that of standard Ethernet eliminating the costs and disruption associated
with IDF closet requirements.

Long Reach PoE over UTP
1. Remove the FLEX-Link from its packaging.
2. Must ensure cable is properly terminated before connecting any FLEX product.
3. Remove all legacy equipment from the UTP cable infrastructure.
NOTE:
In order to avoid damage to endpoints, it is important that non-IP devices are not
connected when you connect the FLEX-Link.
4. Connect the Network Infrastructure cable from the FLEX24 switch, FLEX8 switch or
FLEX-Base to the FLEX-Link (LRE side).
5. Using CAT5 or higher category cable, connect the endpoint to the FLEX-Link (Endpoint
side).
NOTE:
FLEX-Link can be used with FLEX24 switch, FLEX8 switch or FLEX-Base
