eBridge1STR - EoC and PoE/PoE+ Adapter Kit

eBridge1PCRM - EoC and PoE/PoE+ Receiver

eBridge1ST - EoC and PoE/PoE+ Transceiver

Overview:

eBridge1STR is a versatile solution Ethernet adapter/media converter kit which transmits data at
25Mbps and power over Coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The eBridge1PCRM is powered
via a PoE midspan, such as the Altronix Netway series, or by an endspan. The receiver passes
the PoE(+) compliant power over cable to the eBridge1ST transceiver which, in turn, passes this
power to an enabled IP Camera/device. These plug and play units facilitate cost-effective solutions
for IP devices that need to be installed at distances greater than 450m. They provide a simple way
to replace legacy analog products with new IP devices over existing coax.

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.
eBridge1ST and eBridge1PCRM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and
should be installed indoors within protected premises. eBridge1ST and eBridge1PCRM are
intended for indoor use only.

Note: The eBridge1PCRM and eBridge1ST are a paired set and must be used together.

1. eBridge1PCRM installation:

a. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the
unit’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in the proximity to ethernet
switch/network, NVR or video server.
Note: When installing more than one (1) eBridge1PCRM, please allow at least 1” (25mm)
distance between the receivers.
b. Connect structured cable from Ethernet midspan or endspan device to RJ45 jack marked
[PoE Input] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
c. Connect Coax cable to the BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

2. eBridge1ST installation:

a. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s
mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in the proximity of camera/device.
b. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
c. Connect Coax cable to the BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

Note: This kit is designed to accommodate Megapixel and non Megapixel 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’s speed is insufficient, 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.
