- 2 - eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM
Overview:
The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM and eBridge1PCTX are CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet adapters/Media converters that deliver
data and power over the coax cable in a PoE+ compliant format. The paired set enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital
communication to be transmitted over Coax cable. An eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM receiver is powered by a UL Listed limited
power source, PoE midspan or endspan product, such as a NetWay8M and NetWay16M, and sends its power over the coax
to the eBridge1PCTX transmitter under PoE protocol. This enables the eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM to be used in a managed
manner, allowing for remote camera reset. The eBridge1PCTX in turn delivers that PoE+ compliant power to a PoE enabled
camera or IP device. The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM will not deliver power to non-compliant devices, thus avoiding damage
to improperly connected analog cameras. These plug and play units facilitate system upgrades from analog to IP cameras/
devices utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminating the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling.
In addition, data transmission and power over the Coax is possible up to 457m in comparison to 100m Ethernet maximum
distance (see Maximum Length of Coax Type vs. Camera Power/PoE Class, pg. 3). A maximum range from head end to
the PoE camera/device is 657m taking into consideration that up to 100m of structured cable may be deployed at each end.

Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and
authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.
eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the
protected premises. The eBridge8PCRM/16PCRM and eBridge1PCTX are intended for indoor use only.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised. Do not obstruct any air vents on the unit. It is recommended to leave half
space above and below the unit.
