Overview:

Altronix eBridge100RMT is a versatile dual solution Ethernet adapter/media converter kit that transmits data at 100Mbps full duplex and power over Coax cable or extended CAT5e cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The eBridge100RM is powered via a PoE midspan such as the Altronix Netway series or by an endspan. The receiver passes the PoE(+) compliant power over cable to the eBridge100TM transceiver which in turn passes this power to an enabled IP Camera/device. These plug-and-play units facilitate cost-effective solutions for IP devices that need to be installed at distances greater than 100m. They also provide a simple way to replace legacy analog products with new IP devices over existing coax or structured cable.

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 and eBridge100RM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge100TM and eBridge100RM are intended for indoor use only.
Note: The eBridge100RM and eBridge100TM are a paired set and must be used together.

1. eBridge100RM installation:
   a. Secure the 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 proximity to an ethernet switch/network, NVR, or video server.
   Note: When installing more than one (1) eBridge100RM, please allow at least 1” (25mm) distance between the receivers.
   b. Connect the structured cable from Ethernet midspan or endspan device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Input] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
   c. When connecting to the eBridge100TM use either Coax or CAT5 or higher wiring:
   Coax: Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   CAT5 or higher: Connect CAT5 or higher to the connector marked [RJ45 OUT] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).

2.  eBridge100TM installation:
   a. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 4). Unit should be mounted in proximity of the camera/device.
   b. Connect the structured cable from the IP camera/device to the RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
   c. Coax: Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
   CAT5 or higher: Connect CAT5 or higher to the connector marked [RJ45 IN] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).

Note: The eBridge100RMT 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.
