Altronix eBridge1CT Installation Instructions - Manual

eBridge1CT - 1 -
Overview:
The eBridge1CT is a CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapter. The transceiver enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital
communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. 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 data transmission over the Coax can be extended to 1500’ (five times the 100m/328ft Ethernet maxi-
mum length), eliminating the need for repeaters. At the same time the unit can combine Composite Video Signal with the
Ethernet data enabling connection to an analog input on a monitor or matrix switch. An eBridge1CR Reciever is required
for connecting to an ethernet switch/NVR (Network Video Server).
Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and
authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.
eBridge1CT is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected
premises. The eBridge1CT is intended for indoor use only.
1. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the unit’s mounting hole
(Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity to the IP camera/device.
2. Connect 16VAC/24VAC Class 2 plug-in transformer or 12VDC/24VDC (polarity not observed) Class 2 power
supply to jack marked [Power Input] utilizing barrel connector (supplied) (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
Use 22AWG-16AWG wire for this connection.
