Altronix eBridge1PCRT IP and PoE over Coax EoC Kit Installation Guide

Altronix eBridge1PCRT IP and PoE over Coax EoC Kit

Overview

Altronix eBridge1PCR and eBridge1PCT are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters 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. eBridge1PCR receiver sends power over the coax to the eBridge1PCT transmitter under PoE protocol. eBridge1PCT, in turn, delivers that PoE-compliant power to a PoE- enabled camera or IP device. eBridge1PCR 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 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 and eBridge1PCR are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1PCT and eBridge1PCR are intended for indoor use only.

1. eBridge1PCR installation:
2. Secure unit to 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 ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server.
3. Connect 24VAC Class 2 plug-in transformer or 24VDC (polarity not observed) Class 2 power supply to wire insert connector [Power Input] (Fig. 1, pg. 2). Use 22AWG-16AWG wire for this connection.
4. Connect structured cable from ethernet switch/NVR (network video server) to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
5. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
6. eBridge1PCT installation:
7. 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.
8. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
9. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

Note: The eBridge1PCRT 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.
