eBridge4PCRM - 1 -
PLUS
Overview:
eBridge4PCRM and eBridge1PCTX or eBridge1ST 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. eBridge4PCRM receiver is powered by a UL Listed limited power source,
PoE midspan or endspan product, such as a NetWay8M and NetWay16M, and sends its power over the coax to the eBridge
1PCTX or eBridge1ST transmitter under PoE protocol. This enables the eBridge4PCRM to be used in a managed manner,
allowing for remote camera reset. The eBridge1PCTX or eBridge1ST, in turn, delivers that PoE+ compliant power to a
PoE enabled camera or IP device. eBridge4PCRM 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 500m in comparison to 100m Ethernet maximum
distance (see Maximum Length of Coax Type vs. Camera Power/PoE Class, pg. 3). A maximum range from head end 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, eBridge1ST, and eBridge4PCRM are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed
indoors within the protected premises. eBridge1PCTX eBridge1ST, and eBridge4PCRM are intended for indoor use only.
1. eBridge4PCRM installation:
a. Affix rubber pads to eBridge4PCRM for shelf installation (Fig. 4, pg. 4).
Unit should be mounted in proximity to ethernet switch/network, NVR or video server.
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. 1, pg. 2).
2. eBridge1PCTX installation:
a. Secure unit to desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole.
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).
3. eBridge1ST installation:
a. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole
(Fig. 3, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in proximity of camera/device.
b. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 3, pg. 3).
c. Connect Coax cable from eBridge4PCRM to BNC tether cable marked [Coax] (Fig. 3, pg. 3).
Note: eBridge4PCRM 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.
