Altronix reveals Ethernet Cable for Networked Systems

Altronix has launched a new eBridgePlus Ethernet over Coax/PoE Adapters transmit IP video, data and power over coaxial cable at ISC West 2013. This cable enables legacy infrastructure to support IP devices up to 1500 feet (5X maximum Ethernet distance) without repeaters. eBridgePlus enables to transform analog infrastructure for networked systems.

Alan Forman, President, Altronix, said, “The new eBridgePlus Ethernet over Coax/PoE Adapters from Altronix allow existing analog infrastructure to be efficiently upgraded with today’s advanced IP devices without sacrificing performance. As the professional security industry continues to embrace networked systems, the eBridgeproduct line provides a comprehensive solution that delivers significant cost savings versus replacing coax with network cabling.”

The new Ethernet can transmit IP video, data and power over coax cable up to 1,500’ without the need for repeaters. Its receivers are available in single, 4- and 16-port configurations that can seamlessly operate with eBridgePlus single port transceivers. This new product series supports PoE and PoE+ cameras, accessories, and access control devices.

In addition, a new eBridge1PCRM receiver is being introduced that passes power to cameras or devices from a powered switch, managed or unmanaged midspan. It also provides auto detection and protection of legacy non-PoE cameras and devices to avoid damage to equipment.
