Altronix eBridge1PCRM IP and PoE+ Over Coax Receiver Installation Guide

Altronix eBridge1PCRM IP and PoE+ Over Coax Receiver

Overview

eBridge1PCRM is a single port EoC Receiver that transmits data and passes power over coax cable. eBridge1PCRM passes PoE/PoE+ up the coax to an eBridge1PCT, eBridge1PCTX or eBridge1ST transceiver. The transceiver, in turn, delivers that PoE-compliant power to an edge device/camera. This plug-and-play unit facilitates system upgrades from analog to IP utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminates the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling. Data transmission and power over the Coax is possible up to 500m in comparison to 100m Ethernet distance (CAT5e). A maximum range from head end to the edge device/camera is 700m, taking into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed from the receiver to the network switch and the transceiver to the edge device/camera.

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. eBridge1PCRM is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1PCRM is intended for indoor use only.

1. eBridge1PCRM installation:
   • Secure unit to the 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 ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server. Note: When installing more than one (1) eBridge1PCRM, please allow at least 1” (25mm) distance between the receivers.
   • Connect the structured cable from the ethernet midspan or endspan device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT](Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   • Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   • A local AUX input 24VAC or 24VDC can be used to power the eBridge1PCRM. This will eliminate the need for the eBridge1PCRM to draw power from the midspan/endspan thus making the midspan/endspan additional power available to the end PoE-powered device.
2. eBridge1PCT installation:
   • Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.
   • Connect the structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   • Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2 pg. 3).
3. eBridge1PCTX installation:
   • Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.
   • Connect the structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   • Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
4. eBridge1ST installation:
   • Secure the unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 1a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity of the camera/device.
   • Connect the structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 3, pg. 3).
   • Connect Coax cable from eBridge1PCRM to BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 3, pg. 3).

Note:
eBridge1PCRM is designed to accommodate Megapixel, HD720, HD1080, and VGA (SD) cameras. It is important to note that some high resolution and high frame rate cameras may demand faster headend processing ability, such as a PC graphics card to present a quality image. If the headend processing equipment is insufficient in speed, the image may show pixelation and latency. It is advisable to pre-test system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
