Comnet transports IP video over Coax
Danbury, Ct (USA)
This product allows the user to install or upgrade to IP security cameras that can operate using PoE in remote locations while offering significant cost savings by not having to install a separate power source.
Comnet offers a complete line of products that allow Ethernet data to be transmitted over standard 75-ohm coaxial cable circuits, making this unit ideal for those applications where it is desired to utilize an existing installed base of coaxial cable for Ethernet transmission.
The CWFE1POCOAX is another Comnet solution for upgrading an existing coaxial cable plant for use with Ethernet-based equipment; by avoiding the significant costs associated installing new network cabling.
“In many applications, users want to upgrade existing analogue systems with the latest IP security cameras and still utilise the existing copper infrastructure. The CWFE1POCOAX provides that solution and solves the challenge of providing device power. We developed the CWFE1POCOAX as a true cost saving solution. 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,” stated Steve Clarke, Comnet Europe Managing Director.
“Bringing the CWFE1POCOAX to market as an extension of the Valueline brand is the result of real challenges faced by many of our customers”, commented Frank Haight, Comnet Vice President of Marketing. “ Our EoVDSL line has been in great demand since its introduction over a year ago as has Comnet PoE Switches and PoE media converters. A product that combines the cost saving advantages of our EoVDSL line with the functionality of Power over Ethernet was a natural extension and we anticipate great demand”, Haight concluded.
