eBridge100STR
EoC and PoE/PoE+ Adapter Kit
eBridge100RM – EoC and PoE/PoE+ Receiver
eBridge100ST – EoC and PoE/PoE+ Hardened Transceiver

Overview:

Altronix eBridge100STR is a versatile solution Ethernet adapter/media converter kit that transmits data at 100Mbps full duplex and power over Coax 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 eBridge100ST 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 provide a simple way to replace legacy analog products with new IP devices over existing coax.

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.eBridge100ST and eBridge100RM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within protected premises. eBridge100ST and eBridge100RM are intended for indoor use only.
Note: The eBridge100RM and eBridge100ST are a paired set and must be used together.

1. eBridge100RM installation:
   a. 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 the 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. Connect the Coax cable to the BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).

2. eBridge100ST installation:
   a. Secure the 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 the proximity of camera/device.
   b. Connect the structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
   c. Connect the Coax cable to the BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).

Note: This kit 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’s speed is insufficient, 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.
