Vigitron VI2408A 8-port Ethernet Extender Over Coax

Product Description

The VIGITRON VI2408A is an 8-port Ethernet extender designed to transmit network data over existing coaxial cable infrastructure. This type of device bridges legacy coax wiring to modern Ethernet networks, eliminating the need to pull new structured cabling in retrofit or upgrade scenarios. It falls in the media converter category and is typically deployed by low-voltage technicians, network integrators, and security system installers working in buildings where coax is already in place. The VI2408A supports up to 8 ports, allowing multiple network endpoints to be served from a single unit.

This extender is suited for commercial and residential installations where coaxial cable runs are already installed and repurposing that infrastructure is more cost-effective than new cabling. Typical applications include IP camera systems, access control networks, and general Ethernet distribution over existing coax pathways. It is commonly installed in retrofit projects, multi-tenant buildings, and facilities with legacy analog video infrastructure being converted to IP-based systems.

Key Features

• 8-port configuration supports multiple simultaneous Ethernet connections over coax
• Extends Ethernet over existing coaxial cable, reducing the need for new wire pulls
• Media converter category device suitable for IP network infrastructure upgrades
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for use in installations utilizing existing coaxial cable infrastructure for Ethernet extension applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network integrator familiar with structured cabling and media conversion equipment. Power down connected network equipment before making or breaking connections at the extender. Follow local codes and TIA/EIA cabling standards for coax termination and network infrastructure work. Verify coax cable type and connector compatibility before installation to ensure proper signal transmission.
