Eco Plug offers unique ethernet over coax solution
Gouda, The Netherlands
Traditional analogue networks around the globe contain coax and fibre optic cabling. As the preference for digital streaming continues to gain ground, it has been necessary to either replace these infrastructures or install media converters and separate power supplies. As both of these are rather inefficient options, they have consequently hindered the transit and security industries from transitioning to IP or to HD or megapixel devices. The integrated approach from TKH Security Solutions offers a flexible, efficient, and effective solution that helps users reap the benefits of both the available infrastructure and the latest technological advancements.
The Siqura ECO Plug and its corresponding fibre optic option are small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or mini GBIC transceivers that transmit Ethernet/IP signals over coax or fibre optic cabling. These options supplement the standard RJ 45 connector for streaming Ethernet over a Cat 5 infrastructure. Moreover, whereas Cat 5 cables can only stream effectively for up to 100 metres, fibre optic and coax cabling extends the transmission range by hundreds of meters. This results in an efficient and simple installation procedure that improves the overall performance of a system.
