Installation Guide Coaxial - LAN Converter with PoE function Model No. Indoor Use Only BY-HPE11KTA Before attempting to connect or operate this product, please read these instructions carefully and save this manual for future use.
Product Overview Product Overview The BY-HPE11KTA is a coaxial - LAN converter capable of implementing long distance, high speed digital data transmission on existing coaxial cabling with low setup costs. With the built-in PoE function, the BY-HPE11KTA is able to supply power to Panasonic network cameras, which eliminates the need for installing power outlets for the cameras. Note • The PoE switch can be switched to ON or OFF.
Main Features Main Features PoE (Power over Ethernet) ready The coaxial - LAN converter is compliant with PoE standards (IEEE 802.3af), and contains a power supplying device. PoE can be used to supply power to Panasonic network cameras, which eliminates the need for installing power outlets for the cameras. Use over long distances The coaxial - LAN converter can be used for distances of up to 500 m (1,640 feet 5 inches)*1 for PoE connections, and 2 km (6,561 feet 8 inches) for non-PoE connections.
