Altronix Corp EBRIDGE1PCRMT Poe Poe+ Coax Media Converter

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP EBRIDGE1PCRMT is a passive PoE and PoE+ receiver and transceiver designed to extend IP network signals over existing coaxial cable infrastructure. This media converter allows installers to deliver both data and power to IP devices - such as IP cameras and access control endpoints - without running new Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. It is sold as a single unit and is used in structured wiring and security system deployments where coax is already in place. The EBRIDGE1PCRMT bridges legacy coax runs to modern IP and PoE-powered equipment, reducing retrofit costs and installation time in both residential and commercial environments.

This transceiver is well suited for security integrators, low-voltage technicians, and network installers working on IP surveillance upgrades or access control retrofits. It is particularly useful in buildings where coaxial cable was previously used for analog CCTV systems and where pulling new structured cabling is not practical. The device fits into media converter deployments where maintaining existing cable pathways is a priority.

Key Features

• Passive PoE and PoE+ support for powering IP devices over coax
• Extends IP network signals over existing coaxial cable runs
• Functions as both a receiver and transceiver for flexible deployment
• Single-unit packaging suitable for point-to-point coax installations
• Designed for media converter applications in IP surveillance and access control systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for use in IP-over-coax installations supporting passive PoE and PoE+ devices on existing coaxial cable infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified security systems integrator. Power down all connected PoE switches and IP devices before making coax or network connections. Verify that the coaxial cable plant meets the impedance and length specifications for the intended IP-over-coax application before deployment. Follow all applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer guidance when integrating with PoE switches or injectors.
