Communication Networks (ComNet) has released what it claims is a unique product that transports IP video from the camera using existing coaxial cable while delivering operating power for the devices that can be transported back through the same coaxial cable to provide operating power for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) camera. This all-new product, designated the ComNet CWFE1POCOAX, eliminates the need to have a separate power source at the remote location to provide operating power for the devices. Based on
Communication Networks (30 ComNet) has released what it claims is a unique product that transports IP video from the camera using existing coaxial cable while delivering operating power for the devices that can be transported back through the same coaxial cable to provide operating power for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) camera.
This all-new product, designated the ComNet CWFE1POCOAX, eliminates the need to have a separate power source at the remote location to provide operating power for the devices.
Based on the IEEE 802.3af standard for PoE, the unit provides 15W of 48V DC power to the remote devices and transports Ethernet data at rates of up to 100Mbps over a distance of 230m.
"In many applications, users want to upgrade existing analogue systems with the latest IP cameras and still utilise existing copper infrastructure. The CWFE1POCOAX provides that solution and solves the challenge of providing device power," says Andrew Acquarulo, Jr, ComNet president and COO. "By eliminating the cost for new transmission media and installing dedicated operating power, the cost to upgrade to Ethernet becomes manageable and gives the integrator a significant advantage."
