Overview:
eBridge1PCRM 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 eBridge1PCRM receiver is powered
by a 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 eBridge1PCRM 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 eBridge1PCRM 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 headend to the PoE camera/device
is 610m 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.
eBridge1PCTX and eBridge1PCRM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be
installed indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1PCTX and eBridge1PCRM are intended for indoor
use only.
1. eBridge1PCRM installation:
a. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the unit’s
mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in 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
[10/100BaseT] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
c. Connect Coax cable to BNC connector marked [Coax] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
d. A local AUX input 24VAC or 24VDC can be used to power the eBridge1PCRM. This will eliminate
the need for the eBridge1PCRM to draw power from the midspan/endspan, thus making the midspan/
endspan additional power available to the end PoE powered device.
2. eBridge1PCTX installation:
a. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s
mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). 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: eBridge1PCRMT 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 pre-test system if unsure.
Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
