Altronix eBridge100TM IP and PoE PoE+ Over Coax Hardened Transceiver Installation Guide

Bridge100TM
IP and PoE/PoE+ Over Coax
Hardened Transceiver
Installation Guide

Overview:

Altronix eBridge100TM EoC hardened transceiver transmits data at 100Mbps, Full Duplex over Coax cable to a paired eBridge receiver and provides power in a PoE/PoE+ compliant format to an enabled device/camera. The bridge receiver is available in various options and is powered by external midspan or endspan. The receiver passes PoE/ PoE+ power over the same coax cable to the eBridge100TM 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 300m. When paired with the eBridge100RM EoC Receiver, the eBridge100TM will pass 100Mbps full duplex data and PoE/PoE+ over CAT5e (or higher) 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. eBridge100TM is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge100TM is intended for indoor use only.

1. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.
2. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Figs. 2, 3, pg. 3). 3. Coax: Connect Coax cable from eBridge receiver (eBridge100RM, eBridge400PCRM, eBridge800PCRM, eBridge1600PCRM or eBridge800E) to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Figs. 2, 3, pg.
3. CAT5 or higher (must use eBridge100RM receiver): Connect CAT5e or higher to the connector marked [RJ45 IN] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

Note: eBridge100TM 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.
