Altronix eBridge1PCR Installation Instructions - Manual

eBridge1PCR/PCT - 1 -
PLUS
Overview:
The eBridge1PCR and eBridge1PCT are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters that deliver data and power over the coax
cable in a PoE compliant format. The paired set enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be trans-
mitted over Coax cable. An eBridge1PCR receiver sends power over the coax to the eBridge1PCT transmitter under PoE
protocol. The eBridge1PCT in turn delivers that PoE compliant power to a PoE enabled camera or IP device. The eBridge-
1PCR will not deliver power to non compliant devices, thus avoiding damage to 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 to1500 ft. in comparison to 100m (328 ft.) 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 610m
(2000 ft.) taking into consideration that up to 100m (328 ft.) of structured cable may be deployed at each end.
