Ethernet Extenders
Extend your Ethernet infrastructure using existing copper wire or coaxial cable
Elinx Extenders extend your Ethernet connections up to 8,530
ft. (2,600 m) via coaxial cable or up to 6,200 ft. (1,900 m) over a
pair of unused straight copper wire. (Extender wire/cable
must be free of load coils, filters or splitters.) Two Elinx
Extenders are required for the Ethernet extension,
one at each end of your extension points. Optional 19-inch rack
mount chassis (#EIS-RACK-16) houses any combination of up
to 16 EIS-EXTEND or EIS-EXTEND-C extenders, and EIS series
media converters.
Features
- One 10/100BaseTX (TX) Ethernet port with RJ-45 connector
- Auto negotiation of speed and duplex mode on TX port
- Auto MDIX on Ethernet port
- Complies with IEEE 802.3 10BaseT and IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX standards
- Auto senses the speed of 1/3/5/10/15/20/25/30/40/50Mbps (up to 85Mbps
with coaxial models)
- Status LED’s for monitoring and connection status
- One DIP switch configures each unit for either local mode or remote mode
EIR-EXTEND and EIR-EXTEND-C only:
- Wide operating temperature (-40 to 75º C functional, 85º C tested)
- Terminal blocks
- Redundant power input from 12-30VDC
- DIN rail mount
EIS-EXTEND and EIS-EXTEND-C only:
Use as a stand-alone device or with 19-inch rack chassis (hot-swappable)
Applications
- Industrial automation
- Building automation
- SCADA
- Warehousing
- Traffic control
- Point-of-Sale
- CCTV to IP
- Surveillance Cameras

Easy Setup
- Using two units, set one to local mode and the other to remote mode.
- Apply power (EIS-EXTEND and EIS-EXTEND-C include power supply; EIR-EXTEND and EIR-EXTEND-C require a power supply).
- Connect your Ethernet devices to the port marked "Ethernet."
- Connect your copper extension wire to the port marked "Line."
