eBridge4PCRX
Overview:
The eBridge4PCRX is a CAT5 to Coax cable Managed Ethernet Midspan receiver. The receiver enables fast 10/100Base-T
Ethernet digital communication to be received over Coax cable. An eBridge4PCRX receiver sends power over the coax to
the eBridge1PCT 15.4W (PoE) or eBridge1PCTX 30W (PoE+) transmitter under PoE protocol. The eBridge1PCT/PCTX in
turn delivers that power to a PoE enabled camera or IP device. The eBridge4PCRX will not deliver power to non compliant
devices, thus avoiding accidental power turn into 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 asso-
ciated 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 head end to the PoE camera/device is 610m taking into consideration that 100m of structured
cable may be deployed at each end. Altronix offers model VertiLine563 Rack Mount Power Supply/Charger which provides
56VDC output which will power up to two (2) eBridge4PCRX receivers with up to eight (8) PoE+ cameras/devices.
Features:
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.
eBridge4PCRX is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected
premises. The eBridge4PCRX is intended for indoor use only. This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power
Supply rated from 48VDC to 56VDC.
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 op-
eration 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.
