INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 

CWFE(1,2)POCOAX(A,B)[M]

100MBPS ETHERNET OVER COAXIAL CABLE WITH POWER

The ComNet™ CWFE1POCOAX Series transports Ethernet and camera/device 

operating power between the remote device and head-end location using 

existing 75

Ω

 coaxial cable. It eliminates the need to have a separate power 

source at the remote location and provides operating power for the remote 

ComNet media converter and PoE device. Based on the IEEE 802.3af standard 

for Power over Ethernet (PoE), the CWFE1POCOAXBM provides up to 15.4 Watts 

of operating power to the remote powered device (PD). The CWFE1POCOAXA 

transports Ethernet data at rates of 100 Mbps over a distance of 230 meters 

(750 feet) over standard 75

Ω

 coaxial cable. The CWFE(1,2)POCOAXA is used 

at the head end and the CWFE1POCOAXBM is used at the remote location

providing 15 watts of power to the powered device (PD) in the field.

LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining the operating status of the 

device. See 

Figure 9

 on 

Page 5

 for LED explanations.

The CWFE1POCOAXA and CWFE2POCOAXA units are designed for shelf, card 

cage or stand-alone mounting, making them ideal for those installations were 

space is limited. The CWFE1POCOAXBM may also be DIN-rail mounted by the 

addition of the ComNet model DINBKT2 Adaptor Plate Kit. See
