Altronix Corp EBRIDGE16PCRM 16 Output Poe Media Converter

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP EBRIDGE16PCRM is a 16-output IP-over-coax media converter with PoE and PoE+ receiver capability. It accepts IP signals transmitted over existing coaxial cable infrastructure and delivers power plus data to connected IP devices at each output. The unit is designed for security and surveillance integrators who need to extend IP camera systems over coax without replacing existing cable runs. With 16 discrete outputs, a single unit can support a substantial number of endpoints in a structured installation.

This media converter is suited for commercial and large residential security installations where coaxial cabling is already in place. It is commonly deployed as the receiving end of an IP-over-coax architecture, pairing with a transmitter unit at the head end. Typical applications include IP camera retrofits in facilities, parking structures, and multi-building campuses where pulling new Cat-5e or Cat-6 cabling is not practical.

Key Features

• 16 independent outputs for simultaneous IP device connections over coax
• Passes PoE and PoE+ to power connected IP cameras or other PoE devices
• Enables IP-over-coax transmission, preserving existing coaxial infrastructure
• Receiver-side unit designed to pair with a compatible transmitter in a balanced deployment
• Supports media conversion for security and surveillance system integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style receiver unit for IP-over-coax media conversion systems supporting PoE and PoE+ capable IP devices connected via coaxial cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician familiar with IP network infrastructure and structured cabling practices. Power down all connected devices and de-energize PoE sources before making or breaking connections at the unit. Verify that the coaxial cable type and run lengths are within the rated distance for the IP-over-coax system before deployment. Local codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements should be observed throughout the installation.
