Overview:
The eBridge1CT and eBridge1CR are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters. The paired set enables fast
10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. 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 transmis-
sion over the Coax is up to 500m (five times the 100m Ethernet maximum length). At the same time
the units can combine composite video signal with the Ethernet data enabling connection to an analog
input on a monitor or matrix switch.
