Ethernet over Coax

Altronix eBridge1600PCRM and eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST are CAT5e 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 100Base-T Full Duplex Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. The eBridge1600PCRM receivers are powered by any UL Listed, PoE midspan or endspans and pass power over the coax to the eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST hardened transceivers. This enables the eBridge1600PCRM to be used in a managed manner, allowing for remote camera reset. The eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST, in turn, passes PoE+ compliant power to a PoE enabled camera or IP device. 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 and power over the Coax is possible up to 300m in comparison to 100m Ethernet maximum distance.

The eBridge16CR is a 16 channel ethernet over coax rack mount receiver. The eBridge16CR enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over coax cable. This unit is designed to be used with eBridge1CT transceivers. This plug and play unit facilitates 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 the use of coax enables data transmission to be extended over 500m (over four times the 100m Ethernet maximum length), eliminating the need for repeaters. At the same time the units can combine Composite Video Signal with the Ethernet data enabling connection to an analog input on a monitor or matrix switch.
