Overview:
Altronix eBridge400/800/1600PCRM and eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST are CAT5e to Coax cable Ethernet adapters/Media converters that deliver data and power over the coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The paired set enables fast 100Base-T Full Duplex Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. The eBridge400/800/1600PCRM receivers are powered by any UL Listed, PoE midspan or endspans and pass power over the coax to the eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST hardened transceivers. This enables the eBridge400/800/1600PCRM to be used in a managed manner, allowing for remote camera reset. The eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST, in turn, passes PoE+ compliant power to a PoE-enabled camera or IP device. 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 300m in comparison to 100m Ethernet maximum distance (see Maximum Length of Coax Type vs. Camera Power/PoE Class, pg. 6).

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. eBridge400/800/1600PCRM is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises.
The eBridge400/800/1600PCRM and eBridge100TM/eBridge100ST are intended for indoor use only.
Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air
Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Do not obstruct any air vents on the unit. It is recommended to leave half space above and below the unit.
Mechanical
Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Caution: Once PoE connection is established between eBridge400/800/1600PCRM and eBridge100TM or eBridge100ST, disconnecting the coax from eBridge100TM will not disable the PoE-compliant voltage from eBridge400/800/1600PCRM. eBridge100TM or eBridge100ST can be reconnected; however, caution should be taken not to connect the coax wiring from eBridge400/800/1600PCRM to any non-PoE device.

Note: eBridge400/800/1600PCRM 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 pretest the system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
