The Gefen Ethernet Over Coax

The Gefen TV Ethernet Over Coaxial Sender and Receiver units send RJ-45
Ethernet over RG-59 or RG-6 Coax cable at a distance of up to 300m/1000 feet.

Ideal for legacy installations where Coaxial cable is already permanently in place,
these devices breathe new life into remote network extensions where re-wiring is
not possible.

How It Works

Connect your existing Ethernet network cables to the Ethernet Over Coaxial
Sender unit, then plug in your Coaxial cable to the Coaxial jack on the Sender
unit. At the other end of your Coaxial cable run, attach the Ethernet Over Coax
Receiver unit and your network cables. Power-cycle your equipment. You will
now receive Ethernet network signals at the end of your cable run as if you had
cabled the run with Ethernet cables.
