Altronix eBridge4PCRX Data Sheet User Manual
Ip over coax, Ebridge4pcrx

The eBridge4PCRX 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. An eBridge4PCRX receiver sends power over the coax
to the eBridge1PCT 15.4W (PoE) or eBridge1PCTX 30W (PoE+) transmitter
under PoE protocol. The eBridge1PCT/PCTX in turn delivers that power to a PoE
enabled camera or IP device. The eBridge4PCRX 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 and power over the Coax is possible up to 1500 ft. in comparison to
100m (328 ft.) Ethernet maximum distance. A maximum range from head end to the PoE camera/device is 610m (2000
ft.) taking into consideration that up to 100m (328 ft.) of structured cable may be deployed at each end.
