Overview:

Altronix eBridge1PCT EoC hardened transceiver transmits data at 25Mbps, Full Duplex over Coax cable to a paired eBridge receiver and provides power in a PoE-compliant format to an enabled device/camera. The eBridge receiver is available in various options and is powered by external midspan or endspan. The receiver passes PoE power
over the same coax cable to the eBridge1PCT 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. Maximum range from the headend to the PoE camera/device is 700m, taking
into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed at each end.

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. eBridge1PCT is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1PCT is intended for indoor use only.

1. 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 proximity to the camera/device.
2. Connect the structured cable from the IP camera/device to the RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 4).
3.  Connect Coax from eBridge receiver to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2 and 3, pg. 4).

Note: The eBridge1PCT is designed to accommodate Megapixel, HD720, HD1080, and VGA (SD) cameras. It is important to note that some high- resolution and high-frame ate 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 pre-test the system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
