Description

eBridge16PCRX is a CAT5 to Coax cable Managed Ethernet Midspan receiver. The receiver enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be received over Coax cable. eBridge16PCRX receiver sends power over the coax to the eBridge1PCT 15.4W (PoE), eBridge1PCTX 30W (PoE+) or eBridge1ST 30W (PoE+) transmitter under PoE protocol. eBridge1PCT/1PCTX/1ST, in turn, delivers that power to a PoE enabled cameras or devices. eBridge16PCRX will not deliver power to non-compliant devices. These plugs 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 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 head end to the PoE camera/device is 700m, taking into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed at each end. Altronix offers model VertiLine563 Rack Mount Power Supply/Charger which provides 56VDC output which will power one (1) eBridge16PCRX receiver with a maximum of sixteen (16) PoE cameras/devices or twelve (12) PoE+ cameras/devices.
