Atte Active Ethernet and PoE converters xCOAX4-SET 18346 – set for Ethernet over coax, PoE support

Atte xCOAX4-SET 18346 is a set of active converters for transmitting Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) across existing coaxial cable installations. The kit allows Ethernet signals and DC power to be carried over coaxial runs, enabling network extension and device powering without replacing existing cabling. It is intended for retrofit scenarios where UTP cable is not available or rewiring is impractical, and supports common IP devices used in surveillance and access control systems.

Advantages

The set preserves existing coaxial infrastructure while providing Ethernet connectivity and PoE delivery, reducing installation time and civil works. Active conversion maintains signal integrity over longer coax runs than passive adapters, and the design simplifies connecting IP cameras, access controllers and other networked devices without new cable routes. The converters are compact and suitable for mounting near equipment, enabling centralized power distribution to remote devices.

Suitable for

• Extending IP camera networks over existing coax cabling
• Powering PoE-compatible access control devices where UTP is not present
• Retrofitting networked devices in buildings with installed coax infrastructure
• Temporary or permanent installations that require minimal cabling changes

Key specifications

• Function: active Ethernet to coaxial and coaxial to Ethernet conversion with PoE support
• Supported signals: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (auto-negotiation) over coax
• PoE capability: delivers DC power to compatible PoE devices over coax link and provides PoE output on RJ45 side (compliant with common PoE classes; check device compatibility)
• Connection types: coaxial connectors for line side and RJ45 for Ethernet side
• Typical installation: point-to-point pair for one Ethernet link per converter pair
• Form factor: compact converter modules suitable for mounting in equipment racks or near field devices

How to use

Install one converter unit at the network source side and the matching unit at the remote coax termination. Connect the network switch or PoE injector to the RJ45 port on the source converter, and attach the coax cable between the two units using the coaxial connectors. At the remote end, connect the RJ45 output to the PoE-capable device. Ensure power is provided to the source converter via a compatible PoE injector or local power supply as required. Verify link status and device operation after connections are made.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded coaxial cable in good condition and keep cable lengths within the recommended range for reliable Ethernet and PoE transmission. Confirm device PoE requirements and compatibility before deployment, and test each link after installation. For permanent installations, secure converters and cables to prevent mechanical stress and follow local electrical regulations when supplying power.
