eBridge4CR
- 1 -
Overview:
The eBridge4CR is a CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapter. The receiver enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital com-
munication to be received over Coax cable. This plug and play unit facilitates 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 over the Coax can be extended to 500m (five times the 100m Ethernet maximum length),
eliminating the need for repeaters. At the same time the unit can combine Composite Video Signal with the Ethernet data
enabling connection to an analog input on a monitor or matrix switch. The eBridge4CR is to be used with compatible Sony
Hybrid cameras with “sloc” technology. An eBridge1CT is required for other IP cameras/devices.
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.
eBridge4CR is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected
premises. The eBridge4CR is intended for indoor use only. This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct
Plug-in Power Unit marked “Class 2” and rated from 24VDC to 55VDC or 24VAC, 600mA.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern.
