Overview:

eBridge1PCRM and eBridge1PCTX are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters/Media converters that deliver data and power over the coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The paired set enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. eBridge1PCRM receiver is powered by a PoE midspan or endspan product, such as NetWay8M and NetWay16M, and sends its power over the coax to the eBridge1PCTX transmitter under PoE protocol. This enables eBridge1PCRM to be used in a managed manner, allowing for remote camera reset.
eBridge1PCTX, in turn, delivers that PoE+ compliant power to a PoE-enabled camera or IP device. eBridge1PCRM will not deliver power to non-compliant devices, thus avoiding damage to improperly connected analog cameras.
These plug-and-play units facilitate system upgrades from analog to IP cameras/devices utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminating the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling. In addition, data transmission and power over the Coax is possible up to 500m in comparison to 100m Ethernet maximum distance (see Maximum Length of Coax Type vs. Camera Power/PoE Class, pg. 3). A 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.

  2.5” x 4.375” x 1” (63.5mm x 111.1mm x 25.4mm)

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.
eBridge1PCTX and eBridge1PCRM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1PCTX and eBridge1PCRM are intended for indoor use only.

1. eBridge1PCRM installation:
   a. Secure the unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the unit’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity to an ethernet switch/network, NVR, or video server.
   Note: When installing more than one (1) eBridge1PCRM, please allow at least 1” (25mm) distance between the receivers.
   b. Connect the structured cable from the ethernet midspan or endspan device to the RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   c. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   d. A local AUX input 24VAC or 24VDC can be used to power the eBridge1PCRM. This will eliminate the need for the eBridge1PCRM to draw power from the midspan/endspan, thus making the midspan/endspan additional power available to the end PoE-powered device.

2. eBridge1PCTX installation:
   a. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.
   b. Connect the structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   c. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   Note: eBridge1PCRMT 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 the system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
