Altronix Corp EBRIDGE16CR 16-output Ethernet Coax Receiver

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP EBRIDGE16CR is a 16-output Ethernet over coax receiver designed for enterprise-grade network infrastructure and surveillance system deployments. This media converter extends Ethernet connectivity across existing coaxial cable runs, eliminating the need to replace legacy coax infrastructure when upgrading to IP-based systems. It supports 16 simultaneous output connections, making it well suited for high-density installations where multiple IP devices must be networked over a shared coaxial backbone. Licensed network technicians and security system integrators are the primary installers of this type of equipment.

The EBRIDGE16CR fits residential and commercial applications where existing coaxial cabling is already in place and repurposing that infrastructure for IP network traffic is the goal. Typical install scenarios include IP camera system upgrades in facilities that were previously wired for analog CCTV, as well as structured wiring projects in multi-unit buildings. The 16-output capacity allows a single unit to serve an entire floor or zone without requiring additional hardware at each drop.

Key Features

• 16 individual Ethernet outputs delivered over existing coaxial cable
• Eliminates coax-to-CAT replacement costs in retrofit IP deployments
• Enterprise-class media conversion suitable for high-density node counts
• Sold as a single unit (each) for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and integration component for enterprise media converter applications utilizing Ethernet over coax architecture.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network technician familiar with structured cabling standards and local codes. Power down all connected network equipment before making or breaking coaxial and Ethernet connections. Follow TIA-568 and applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines when routing and terminating cables. Do not exceed the rated output count or connect incompatible coaxial impedance cable types without verifying compatibility with the full system design.
