Use over long distances

The coaxial - LAN converter can be used for distances of up to 500 m*1 for PoE connections, and 2 km for non-PoE connections. (When used with RG-6/U coaxial cable.)

High-speed transmission

The coaxial - LAN converter is capable of transmission speeds of 35 Mbps or over for TCP*2, and 45 Mbps or over for UDP connections. (When used with RG-6/U coaxial cable, and for distances under 2 km.)

No setup required

Connections can be established by simply connecting the coaxial cable to the coaxial

- LAN converter.

When connected to a Panasonic network camera. For other cameras the connection distance is 300 m.
