Description
Altronix eBridge1PCRTX Transceiver/Media Converter – 1 x Network (RJ-45) – Fast Ethernet – 10/100Base-T – 1640.42 ft – DC
eBridge1PCRX and eBridge1PCTX are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters/media converters that deliver data and power over the coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The paired set enables fast 10/100 Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. eBridge1PCRX receiver sends power over the coax to eBridge1PCTX transmitter under PoE protocol. eBridge1PCTX, in turn, delivers that PoE+ compliant power to a PoE-enabled camera or IP device. eBridge1PCRX will not deliver power to non-compliant devices, thus avoiding accidental power turn into improperly connected analog cameras. These plug and play units facilitate system upgrades from analog to IP cameras/devices utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminating the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling. In addition, data transmission over the Coax is possible up to 500m in comparison to 100m Ethernet maximum distance (see Maximum Length of Coax Type vs. Camera Power/PoE Class, pg. 3). A maximum range from headend to the PoE camera/device is 700m taking into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed at each end.
