Optional Hookup for High Power PoE Devices

9) In some cases the PoE device connected to the transmitter needs more power than can be supported over a long ca-
ble run. You can usually identify these cases by watching the POWER LED of the transmitter, located on the
“Network Port”. If the power light cycles ON for less then 1 second and then is off for 3 or 4 seconds when the PoE
device is connected, but it turns ON and operates normally without a PoE device connected, this would indicate you
are having a current limit problem.
10) You should first check the power requirements of the PoE device. Also check the length of the Link cable from head-
end to transmitter. The POE POWER CHART on the previous page will indicate the maximum power available for
your length of cable.
11) If the needed level of power is not available for the length of cable, used alternate options are available. One method
is to directly power the transmitter with a 48VDC power supply as shown below (Nitek# PS48). When powered di-
rectly from a 48VDC supply the transmitter can deliver full 802.3AT power regardless of the cable length plus an ad-
ditional length of up to 100 meters of network cable.
