Dear MOBOTIX customer,
Congratulations on your decision to select an innovative quality product ‘Made in Germany’!
The Mx2wire media converter allows you to transform a two-wire cable into a network
cable including PoE power supply in just a few minutes.
Minimal installation effort is required to replace a simple door bell with a modern IP door
station, for instance. Or you can use the existing coaxial cable of an old analog camera
to replace this camera with a modern MOBOTIX HiRes camera with up to a thirty times
higher image resolution.
Please first make sure that all components are included as listed on page 18 overview. The
manual then gives you a brief overview of the innovative product concept and presents
you with practical ways to use the Mx2wire media converter. This is followed by all the
information you need to install and operate the device.
If you have any questions, you can contact our support staff at [email protected]
from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (German time).
We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you all the best with your new MOBOTIX
product!
Your MOBOTIX Team
We have tested the product very carefully and, instead of specifying non-recurrent peak
values, we only provide the important net data rate, which was measured over a long
period of time. However, we can provide
as various physical factors are not within the area of responsibility of MOBOTIX (sources
of interference such as machines or power cables, the condition and quality of the
cables used, etc.). The nominal data rate, connection length and power transmission
can only be individually tested and determined at the place of installation.
Never connect or handle live cables (e.g. 240V power supply) on your own; always
have a trained electrician do the installation.

Mx2wire User Manual:
In many houses television, telephone and other distribution networks based on two-wire
cables are already installed, but no longer used. For example, a previously cable-bound
telephone system may have been replaced by an up-to-date wireless system. Existing,
unused cables can now be quickly connected to Mx2wire and transformed into network
connections throughout an entire building. An old analog camera can also be instantly
exchanged for a digital, high-resolution MOBOTIX network camera without the need for
any recabling and with all the associated benefits.

Using the Mx2wire system from MOBOTIX, an Ethernet network with PoE can be established
using existing cables up to 500 m. This means that you can utilize a two-wire cable that
is no longer in use (analog telephone line, antenna cable or bell wire, for instance) to
connect a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet device such as a PC, WLAN, IP camera, IP telephone or
IP door station without having to lay any new cables or implement any other constructional
measures. An (identical) Mx2wire unit is required at both ends of the cable, and it automatically
configures itself as either the sender or the receiver (MOBOTIX patent).
The significant additional benefit of Mx2wire is that, in addition to data, the power to
operate PoE end devices (Power over Ethernet according to the IEEE 802.3af standard, a
MOBOTIX network camera, for example) can also be transferred via the two-wire cable.
Mx2wire is supplied via PoE from the network cable that feeds in. The connected end devices
are supplied with up to 7 watts via PoE. Mx2wire does not therefore require its own power
supply, as the network distributor (switch) typically supplies power over the data cables
(PoE) so that the two Mx2wire units as well as the standard PoE end device are supplied.
Mx2wire is delivered in a standard socket frame in different designs, however, it can also
be used with the surface-mounted socket provided.
Note
Mx2wire takes over the cable function for network and PoE, therefore, the cable cannot
be simultaneously used for power, analog telephone or antenna connection anymore.

A two-wire cable is usually a two-wire copper cable whose two wires are twisted together
(twisted pair). A classic two-wire cable is an analog telephone wire with a wire diameter of
0.8 mm, which, in terms of quality (according to the ISO/IEC 11801 standard), corresponds to
a category 1 cable for voice transmission. Mx2wire can also be operated using untwisted
cables that have at least two wires forming a physical connection between the two Mx2wire
units. Please note that the quality, length and diameter of the two-wire cable used all have
an influence on the transfer of data and the PoE output (see Section 1.2).
• Cable type: RG according to MIL-C-17 (coaxial cable)
• An analog camera can be easily exchanged for an IP camera
• Interference-free thanks to closed systems and cable shielding
• Range (at 10 Mbps): over 500m
• Cable type: JY, A2Y and YR (telephone and low-voltage cable)
• Very good availability in buildings
• Core diameter 0.6 to 0.8mm
• Range (at 10Mbps): over 200m
• Cable type: NY (installation cable)
• Widespread availability of cables

• Cable type: Cat7 (S/FTP, 4x2xAWG 23, 1000 MHz)
• Long range data and power transmission
• Range (at 10 Mbps): over 500 m
Sample performance
data is provided on
the following page
Mx2wire User Manual:
www.mobotix.com • [email protected]
The data rates shown in the tables are net data rates, also referred to as the payload,
which are given in Mbps (1 byte = 8 bits). In contrast to the gross data rates (including the
data load for the operation of the system) that are usually provided when the performance
data of DSL connections is specified, for instance, the amount of data shown here is the
actual amount of data that is fully available to the end device operated on the Mx2wire
receiver unit. As an example, a MOBOTIX network camera only requires a data rate of
approximately 2.5 Mbps.
Notes
When long cables are used, voltage drops may make it impossible to supply end devices
with power, so a separate power supply must be provided. In other words, the data
range is generally greater than the maximum power transmission line.
Only a network patch cable with a usual maximum length of should be
connected directly to an Mx2wire unit in order to bridge the path to the next device
(switch, router, PC, PoE injector or IP camera, for example).
No provision is made by MOBOTIX for any further extension of the network, for example,
by connecting a longer network patch cable to Mx2wire.
It is also not possible to link more than two Mx2wire units.

Mx2wire User Manual:
www.mobotix.com • [email protected]
The value for the power transmission capacity of a cable of a particular thickness and
length is given as a PoE class (see table on page 8). This means that the power supply
and full functionality of a PoE end device in the specified class (1 or 2, depending on the
cable cross-section and length) is guaranteed on the Mx2wire receiver unit. The sender
is the Mx2wire unit that is supplied directly from the PoE switch.
Due to physical constraints, cables exceeding a certain length can still transfer data but
not power. When installations have no PoE-supplied end devices (PCs, for example), the
range of the two-wire cable may increase significantly, provided that low data rates are
sucient for the application.
We have tested the product very carefully and, instead of specifying non-recurrent peak
values, we only provide the important net data rate, which was measured over a long
period of time. However, we can provide
as various physical factors are not within the area of responsibility of MOBOTIX (sources
of interference such as machines or power cables, the condition and quality of the
cables used, etc.). The nominal data rate, connection length and power transmission
can only be individually tested and determined at the place of installation.
When data and power are sent via the two-wire network cable, a (feeding) Mx2wire unit
functions as the sender while the other unit functions as the (data) receiver. Communication
between the Mx2wire units is possible in both directions, as the ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’
roles always configure themselves automatically.

The data rate is 10Mbps for each Mx2wire pair (from A to A and from B to B). If only one
pair is connected (only A, see the figure above), the net data rate of Mx2wire is 30 Mbps.
The reduced data rate in this example is due to the cables interfering with each other.
Normally, the two pairs act like a network hub, that is, the data transferred from A to A is
also available on the two units of the data path from B to B. In order to prevent this, each
couple of Mx2wire units is paired at the factory, which means that they have the same
network number (network ID) and can therefore communicate with each other.
Note
Two Mx2wire units must always be used as a pair (as originally packed). The two paired
units have the same network ID. The network ID is printed on a sticker located in the
top right corner of the circuit board.

An Internet connection exists on the ground floor of a house and a PC in a separate
apartment is to be linked to this. The concrete walls and/or distance make a network
extension via WLAN impossible. In this example, Mx2wire is simply connected to the two
wires of the analog telephone line that is no longer being used. All that Mx2wire requires
to supply power to the end device (PC) and for its own consumption is a PoE switch or
injector.

The DSL connection is on the ground floor. Several PCs located two floors higher are to be
connected to this. WLAN cannot be used over the entire distance. The distance from the
router on the ground floor to the second floor can once again be bridged by Mx2wire and
an analog telephone line, for example. By connecting a WLAN router to the Mx2wire unit
on the second floor, the PCs there can now access the Internet via WLAN.
All Mx2wire installations require a suitable PoE power supply (Class 0). Here, you can
always choose between a standard PoE switch/router or the MX-NPA-PoE set that is
available from MOBOTIX as an accessory (see figure).

Mx2wire allows an old power line to be used to connect a modern, PoE-supplied
IPcamera including audio/video and switch functions. A standard PoE switch/router
or the compact MX-NPA-PoE set including crossover function is used for the PoE power
supply. A patch cable (at least Cat5) is used to connect the PC, which serves to control
the camera, directly to the PoE switch.
