Hardened Transceiver
IP and PoE+ Over
Extended Distance CAT5e
Installation Guide
Overview:
Pace1ST is a long-range hardened Ethernet transceiver designed for use with Pace1PRM, Pace4PRM, Pace8PRM, and Pace16PRM receivers. They transmit data at 100Mbps full duplex and power via CAT5e or higher cable in a PoE(+) compliant format. Pace1ST will not deliver power to non-compliant devices, thus avoiding damage to improperly connected non-PoE cameras/devices. The receiver passes the PoE(+) compliant power over the cable to the Pace1ST transceiver which, in turn, passes this power to an enabled IP camera/device. These plug-and-play units facilitate cost-effective solutions for IP devices that need to be installed at distances greater than 100m.

Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application. Pace1ST is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. Pace1ST is intended for indoor use only.
- Secure the unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in the proximity of the camera/device.
- Connect the structured cable from the IP camera/device to the RJ45 jack marked [IP Device] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
- Connect CAT5e or higher to the connector marked [Pace Receiver] from the receiver (Pace1PRM, Pace4PRM, Pace8PRM, or Pace16PRM) (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
Caution: once a PoE connection is established between the receiver and Pace1ST, disconnection from Pace1ST will not disable the PoE output voltage on the receiver. Although the Pace1ST can be reconnected, caution should be taken not to connect the CAT5e wiring from the receiver to any non-PoE device.
