eBridgePLUS eBridge4SK Ethernet over Coax 4-Port Adapter Kit Installation Guide

Overview

Altronix eBridge4SK kit consists of eBridge100SPR and eBridge4SPT which are Coax to CAT5 Ethernet adapters/ media converters that deliver data and power over coax cable. eBridge4SK enables fast 10/100 Base-T Ethernet digital communication. eBridge4SPT allows you to upgrade your existing infrastructure by replacing a single analog device with up to four (4) PoE/PoE+ devices. eBridge100SPR passes data and sends power over the coax to the eBridge4SPT. Data transmission and power over the Coax are possible up to 300m. Maximum range from head end to the PoE camera/device is 500m, taking into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed at each end. eBridge4SK enables cost-effective system upgrades and eliminates the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling.

Note: for Ethernet maximum distance see Maximum Length of Coax Type vs. Camera Power/PoE Class.

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. eBridge100SPR and eBridge4SPT is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge100SPR and eBridge4SPT are intended for indoor use only.

1. eBridge100SPR installation:

2. a. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the unit’s mounting hole. Unit should be mounted in proximity to Ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server.

3. b. Connect 56VDC UL Listed Class 2 or limited power source to terminals marked [Power – Input +] (observe proper polarity) (Fig. 1). Use 22AWG-16AWG wire for this connection.
   Caution: 56VDC will be present on coax. The other end of the coax should only be connected to the eBridge4SPT.

4. c. Connect structured cable from Ethernet switch/NVR (network video server) to RJ45 jack marked [10/100 BaseT] (Fig. 1).

5. d. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 1).

6. eBridge4SPT installation:

7. a. Affix rubber pads to eBridge4SPT for shelf installation (Fig. 2).

8. b. Connect Coax cable from eBridge100SPR to BNC connector marked [Coax] located on the back of the unit (Fig. 1).

9. c. Connect structured cable from PoE/PoE+ cameras/devices to RJ45 jacks marked [1-4] (Fig. 1).

Note: The eBridge 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 pre-test system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
