Altronix eBridge1STR EoC Adapter Kit Installation Guide

Altronix eBridge1STR EoC Adapter Kit

Overview

Altronix eBridge1STR ethernet over coax adapter kit transmits data at 25Mbps and power over Coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. eBridge1PCRM is powered by an external midspan or endspan. eBridge1PCRM receiver passes PoE/PoE+ power over the same coax cable to eBridge1ST transceiver which, in turn, passes this power to an enabled IP camera/device. These plug and play units facilitate a cost-effective, simple way to replace legacy analog products with new IP devices over existing coax up to 500m.

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. eBridge1ST and eBridge1PCRM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within protected premises. eBridge1ST and eBridge1PCRM are intended for indoor use only.
Note: The eBridge1PCRM and eBridge1ST are a paired set and must be used together.

1. eBridge1PCRM installation:
   •  Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the unit’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 4). Unit should be mounted in the 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 structured cable from Ethernet midspan or endspan device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Input] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
   • Connect Coax cable to the BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
2. eBridge1ST 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 the proximity of camera/device.
   •  Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
   • Connect Coax cable to the BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
     Note: This kit is designed to accommodate Megapixel and non-Megapixel cameras.
     It is important to note that some high resolution and high frame rate cameras may demand faster headend pro-cessing ability, such as a PC graphics card, to present a quality image. If the headend processing equipment’s speed is insufficient, the image may show pixelation and latency. It is advisable to pretest system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
