Product Features
Technical Overview
The eBridge1PCRX operates as a receiver module that converts signals between twisted pair Ethernet and coaxial media. It features two total ports: one standard network RJ-45 port and one PoE+ RJ-45 port that delivers IEEE 802.3at-compliant power over Ethernet.
This device supports media types including twisted pair and coaxial cable, with a maximum transmission distance of 0.10 km. The Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX network technology ensures reliable data transfer for standard IP applications, while the absence of management ports keeps configuration simple and plug-and-play.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
