Altronix eBridge1ST EoC Hardened Mini-Transceiver

Overview:

Altronix eBridge1ST EoC hardened transceiver transmits data at 25Mbps, 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 ends pan. The receiver passes PoE/PoE+ power over the same coax cable to the eBridge1ST 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.

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. eBridge1ST is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1ST is intended for indoor use only.

  1.  Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a,). 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).
  3. Connect Coax cable from eBridgePlus receiver (please refer to the list of compatible receivers on page 1) to
    BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 2 and 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 pixilation and latency. It is advisable to pretest system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
