Altronix eBridge100ST EoC Hardened Mini-Transceiver Installation Guide

Altronix eBridge100ST EoC Hardened Mini-Transceiver Installation Guide

Overview

Altronix eBridge100ST EoC hardened transceiver transmits data at 100Mbps, Full Duplex over Coax cable to a paired eBridge receiver and provides power in a PoE/PoE+ compliant format to an enabled device/camera. The eBridge receiver is available in various options and is powered by an external midspan or endspan. The receiver passes PoE/PoE+ power over the same coax cable to the eBridge100ST 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 300m.

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 is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge100ST is intended for indoor use only.

1. Secure unit to 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.
2. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2 and 3, pg. 3).
3. Connect Coax from eBridge receiver (eBridge100RM, eBridge400PCRM, eBridge800PCRM, eBridge1600PCRM or eBridge800E) cable to BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 2 and 3, pg. 3).

Note: This unit 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 system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.

Single PoE Camera Connection

*Note: Caution: once PoE connection is established between eBridge100RM and eBridge100ST, disconnection from eBridge100ST will not disable the PoE output voltage on the eBridge100RM. Although the eBridge100ST can be reconnected, caution should be taken not to connect coax wiring from eBridge100RM to any non-PoE device.
