Overview:

The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM and eBridge1PCTX are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters/Media converters that deliver data and power over the coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The paired set enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. An eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM receiver is powered by a UL Listed limited power source, PoE midspan or endspan product, such as a NetWay8M and NetWay16M, and sends its power over the coax to the eBridge1PCTX transmitter under PoE protocol. This enables the eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM to be used in a managed manner, allowing for remote camera reset. The eBridge1PCTX in turn delivers that PoE+ compliant power to a PoE enabled camera or IP device. The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM will not deliver power to non-compliant devices, thus avoiding damage to 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 associated with installing new network cabling.

In addition, data transmission and power over the Coax is possible up to 457m 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 657m taking into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed at each end.

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.

eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM and eBridge1PCTX are intended for indoor use only.

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. Do not obstruct any air vents on the unit. It is recommended to leave half space above and below the unit.

- 2 - eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM

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.

Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

1. eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM installation:

a. Attach mounting brackets to eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM unit for rack installation (Fig. 4, pg. 6).

Affix rubber pads to eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM for shelf installation (Fig. 5, pg. 6).

Unit should be located in proximity to ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server.

b. Connect structured cable from ethernet midspan or endspan device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT]

(Fig. 2, pg. 3).

c. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 1, pg. 3).

2. eBridge1PCTX installation:

a. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole.

Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.

b. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

c. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

Note: The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM 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 is insufficient in speed, the image may show pixelation and latency. It is advisable to pretest system if unsure. Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
