MC252-1P-1CX
MC252-1T-1CXP
Power over Coax PoE-at Media Converter
OVERVIEW
The IFS® Power over Coax - PoE-at Media Converters are designed
to extend both Ethernet data and PoE over existing coax cable
up to 1Km (3,280 ft). This Power over Coax solution consists of a
transmitter and receiver set, which works as a pair with or without a
power adaptor depending on the installation confi guration and power
requirements needed.
The solution contains two modules:
• MC252-1T-1CXP: This unit is designed for the head-end/switch
end. The module transmits Power over Coax and is powered by
an external power adaptor or can be powered directly from a port
on a PoE switch*
• MC252-1P-1CX: This unit is designed for the IP PoE Camera end.
The module receives Power over Coax and outputs PoE on the
R-J45 port. This unit is self-powered via the Power over the Coax
or can be powered with an external power adaptor when used with
the MCR200-1T-1CXT that may be rack mounted in the MCR-R15
at the head-end.
These modules are compliant with IEEE 802.3at High Power over
Ethernet (PoE+) and provide up to 25 watts of power output.
This solution eliminates the need for providing local power at an IP
PoE camera location thus reducing additional material and labor
installation costs. In addition, these modules provide on-board
feature-rich diagnostic LEDs and can be used with either 50 or
75 ohm coax.
The modules are also environmentally hardened with an operating
temperature range of -40°C~75°C making them ideal for use in
extended distance in harsh environments such as warehouses,
parking garages, campuses and other diffi cult environments where
commercial-grade equipment may be stressed.
* The actual data rate and power will vary based on the quality of the copper wire, distance
and environmental factors. See specifi cations table for more information.
