  • Outputs are Class 2 Power-Limited: when powered by PoE, PoE+, Hi-PoE unit or UL Listed power-limited supply. If supplied by a non-limited power source, the output of the device must be considered as a non-limited power source. For non-limited power sources, the unit must be installed in a restricted access, and the need for additional protective circuitry and/or an appropriate fire enclosure for the products supplied by this device, shall be determined in the installation of the device.

Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. NetWaySP2/4/8 is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads. These products are for indoor use only and must be installed within the protected premises.

  1.  Attach mounting brackets to unit for rack or wall mount installation (Fig. 2 or 4, pg. 5).
    Affix rubber pads to unit for shelf installation (Fig. 4, pg. 5).

  2. Secure the unit in a rack or on a wall, or place unit on a shelf as desired.
    Note: The following factors should be taken into consideration when installing these rack mount units:

    • The unit is to be installed in a space where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
    • Take care to ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
    • When mounting units in a rack, take care to avoid uneven loading which can cause a hazardous condition.
  3. Input Power Options:

    • Connect structured cable from ethernet (mid span or end span) device to RJ45 jack marked [Ethernet] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
    • Connect 48-56V UL Listed ITE power supply (rated minimum ambient temperature of 50ºC, or the installation of the device must conform to the rated ambient temperature of the power supply) to terminals marked [– In +, 56VDC] (Fig. 1 pg. 4).
  4. Daisy-chaining inputs: Connect terminals marked [– Pass +, 56VDC] to the next input terminals marked
    [– In +, 56VDC] (Fig. 1 pg. 4).

  5. Connect Composite (Powered) Fiber cable. Fiber portion connects to port marked [SFP 1-4], copper portion connects to output marked [OUT 56VDC, 1-4] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).

  6. Connect opposite end of Composite (Powered) Fiber cable. Fiber portion connects to SFP port on NetWaySP3WPN or NetWay4EWPN, copper portion connects to power input of NetWay Spectrum Hardened Switch, carefully observing correct polarity (Refer to NetWaySP3WPN/4WPN/8WPN / NetWay4EWPN Installation Guides).

Recommended Altronix SFP Modules:

Altronix P1MM, P1SM10, P1AB2K and P1GCE are hot-pluggable SFP fiber transceiver modules and are readily usable with all Altronix Spectrum fiber optic equipment for 1Gb transmission rates.

  • P1MM – For use with Multi-Mode Fiber for distances up to 550m.
  • P1SM10 – For use with Single-Mode Fiber for distances up to 10km.
  • P1AB2K – For use with Single Strand Single-Mode Fiber for distances up to 2km.
  • P1GCE – For use with CAT5e or better for distances up to 100m.
