3.3 Midspan Unit Installation
This section describes the prerequisites and available installation options for the midspan unit.
The following figure shows the overview of the midspan unit.
Figure 3-1. Product Overview
3.3.1 Prerequisites
Note the following before mounting the PoE midspan unit to a fixed location:
• To ensure weather-proof connection in order to meet IEC60529 level IP67, PoE midspan DC power plug needs
to be connected to a weather-proof DC power source box.
• Do not cover the midspan or block the airflow to the PoE with any foreign objects.
• Keep the midspan away from excessive heat and free from vibration.
• Ensure that the cable length from the Ethernet network source to the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (333
feet). The midspan is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
• The midspan has no ON-OFF switch, simply plug the midspan into an DC power source.
• PoE midspan DC power lines must be connected to the socket-outlet that shall be installed near the equipment
and be easily accessible.

3.3.2 Installation Options
The following two options are available for installing this midspan unit:
1. Wall Mounting: PoE midspan unit can be mounted on a wall/bench (all kind of flat surfaces such as wood,
brick, concrete etc) using the mounting holes.
CAUTION
Use only a solid mounting surface to install the midspan unit, do not install on a drywall or
plasterboard walls.
2. Pole Mounting—Using the optional mount kit.
Note: The mounting kit is not provided with the midspan unit. Contact 7. Technical Support for more
information on ordering the mounting kit (Part Number: PD-OUT/MBK/GCO).
3.3.2.1 Wall Mounting
Follow the procedure to mount the unit directly to a wall.
1. Using the screw holes of the midspan as a template, put marks on the mounting surface (a wall of wood, brick
or concrete) to mark drill points, and drill four holes.
2. With the unit attached to the mounting surface, insert four mounting screws through the screw holes on the
unit and into the mounting surface.
Notes:
• For bricks or concrete wall, use anchor screws (5 mm x 40 mm), and for wooden wall, use wood screws
(5 mm x 40 mm).
• The screws are not provided with the kit.
3. Tighten each screw until the midspan unit is securely attached to the mounting surface.
Note: The dimensions in the above figure are in millimeters.
