Altronix Corp EBRIDGE8PCRM 8-output Poe Media Converter

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP EBRIDGE8PCRM is an 8-output IP over coax media converter with PoE and PoE+ receiver capability. It allows network IP devices to communicate over existing coaxial cable infrastructure, eliminating the need to run new Ethernet cabling. The unit passes PoE and PoE+ power along with data to connected IP devices at each output. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians install this type of receiver as part of a structured cabling retrofit, pairing it with a compatible transmitter to extend IP network connectivity across legacy coax runs.

The EBRIDGE8PCRM is suited for commercial and institutional security installations where existing coaxial cable is already in place and replacing it with structured Cat cabling is cost-prohibitive or impractical. Typical applications include IP camera systems, access control endpoints, and other PoE-powered network devices in retrofit deployments. With 8 outputs, a single unit can serve multiple endpoints from one centralized location, streamlining infrastructure in larger installations.

Key Features

• 8 outputs for connecting multiple IP devices over coaxial cable
• Supports PoE and PoE+ power delivery to connected devices
• IP over coax pass-through eliminates new Ethernet cable runs in retrofit projects
• Designed for centralized deployment in commercial security and network infrastructure
• Media converter form factor integrates into existing low-voltage system architectures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style receiver unit for use in IP over coax PoE and PoE+ media converter systems requiring 8 output ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security systems integrator familiar with IP networking and coaxial cabling standards. Power down all connected devices and de-energize the PoE source before making or breaking connections. Installations in commercial buildings may be subject to local low-voltage wiring codes and NEC Article 725 requirements. Verify transmitter and receiver pairing compatibility before finalizing the installation.
