Connecting the Line Interface

CopperLink 1214 User Manual 

CAUTION

The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use 
and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt-
age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and 
mechanical serviceability.

The CL1214 supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 10,000 ft 
(3 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire, Cat5+, or 75-ohm BNC.

Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environ-
ment and type/gauge of wire used.

Follow the steps below to connect the CL1214 CopperLink Interfaces.

The CL1214 units work in pairs. One of the units must be configured as a 
(L) Local unit, and the other unit must be configured as a (R) Remote unit. 

Connecting the Line Interface for CL1214/EUI or CL1214/TB
1. To function properly, the two CL1214s must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, 

dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal 
equalization equipment are not acceptable.

2. The CL1214 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack (

) or terminal block (

 on page 17) 

that can be used on the CopperLink interface. The CopperLink interface is a two-wire interface. Observe 
the signal/pin relationships on the CL1214’s CopperLink interface jack. 

The RJ-45 connector on the CL1214’s twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire 
interface. The signal/pin relationship is shown in
