Network Video Technologies (NVT) has released a new Ethernet over Coax solution positioned to support coax-based legacy CCTV installations that are migrating to IP. The Model NV-EC1701 Ethernet over Coax EoC Transceiver is a compact media converter that allows 10/100 BaseT Ethernet and PoE power to be transmitted up to 5,000 feet (1,500 m) using new or existing coax cable. Transceivers may be linked together using BNC “T” adaptors, forming a bus-architected network that supports up to (4) EoC transceivers and IP/Megapixel cameras. 48VDC class 2 power is delivered to one transceiver, which distributes “always on” PoE to up to four remote transceivers, and their IP/PoE cameras or other devices. Three status LEDs indicate power, link and activity for its RJ45 and coax ports.
