Ethernet over Coax Converter/ Range Extender Part Numbers: FastECoax7501H (Head End) FastECoax7501C (Camera Side) FastECoax7501HC (Head End/Camera Side) Set User Guide FastECoax 7501 Description The FastECoax 7501 transports Ethernet over 75Ω coaxial cables. The link consists of a pair of converters connected together via coax and terminated at each end with a RJ45 socket. Together the converters create a virtual UTP cable that is indistinguishable from any other UTP cable link. Power for the internal electronics can be supplied either using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard or via a separate AC adaptor.

The Characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable and connectors must all be 75Ω. Only use only BNC connectors that are clearly marked as “True 75Ω”. The illustration (right) shows the difference between a 50Ω versus a 75Ω connector. 3 FastECoax-7501-2011-04-13 User Guide FastECoax 7501 Power options: There are a number of ways to power the converters: Head End converter can be powered via PoE, or via DC adapter Camera Side must be powered by the Head End over the coax cable An IP camera can be powered via PoE (via UTP from the Camera Side), via the Aux power out of the Camera Side, or using its own power adapter ! Do not connect the Camera Side to a PoE power injector, or to a power adapter (the Camera Side power connector is output only). Power Example 1: Ethernet switch with embedded PoE Ethernet Switch With Intgrated PoE Head End UTP Camera Side 75Ω Coax Ethernet IP Camera UTP The converters are powered via PoE. PoE compatible cameras will automatically be powered by the Camera Side via UTP. Non-PoE IP camera must use its own power adapter. Power Example 2: Using a stand-alone PoE injector PoE Injector Ethernet Switch UTP UTP Head End Camera Side 75Ω Coax Ethernet IP Camera UTP The converters are powered via PoE. PoE compatible cameras will automatically be powered by the Camera Side via UTP. Non-PoE IP camera must use its own power adapter. Example 3: Using a Power adapter Ethernet Ethernet Switch Power UTP Camera Side Head End 75Ω Coax IP Camera UTP AC Adaptor The converters are powered via the power adapter. The IP camera can optionally be powered from the Camera Side Auxiliary power connector, which is at the same voltage as the power adapter (minus any voltage loss in the coax cable – see specifications). 4 FastECoax-7501-2011-04-13 User Guide FastECoax 7501 Troubleshooting: When the FastECoax7501 converters are paired they create a virtual UTP cable. The LEDs on the converters will only light if the complete link is established from the Ethernet device at one end of the cable to the Ethernet device at the other end. Once the whole link is established the Yellow LED will light and then flash to show Ethernet traffic. Link establishment is also transparent. If a device at one end of the cable is only capable of operating at 10Mbps, the devices at each end of the link will negotiate the link to be 10Mbps. In this case the green LED will remain off, showing a connection at 10Mbps. The same happens for full/half duplex. The FastECoax7501 supports Auto-MDI/MDI-X meaning that both straight and twisted patch cables will work. Only use short patch cables, less than 3 meters in length. The Characteristic impedance of coaxial cable and BNC connectors must all match. The FastECoax7501H and FastECoax7501C Converters require 75Ω (+/- 3Ω) impedance. Most problems are caused by using poor quality BNC connectors that are not designed to be 75Ω. Always make sure that the BNC connectors are marked ‘True 75 Ω’. Symptom Converters will not connect Converters will not connect Specified range not achieved Specified range not achieved Slave Converter is not powered Master Converter is now powered Probable Cause Ensure coax is 75Ω impedance Ensure BNC connector is 75Ω impedance Ensure coax is 75Ω impedance Ensure BNC connector is 75Ω impedance See Power Options and Troubleshooting sections Check PoE power supplied by Injector or Switch Website: www.eqcologic.com Support: http://www.eqcologic.com/inforequest.html 5 FastECoax-7501-2011-04-13 User Guide FastECoax 7501 Technical Specifications Coax Interface Connector BNC True 75Ω Cable Impedance 75Ω + 3Ω Connector/coax Return Loss Return Loss > 25dB @ 1MHz - 200MHz Data Throughput 200Mbps (Simultaneous 100Mbps in both directions) for all cable lengths Ethernet Interface Connector (Head End) RJ45 (PoE Device Compliant) Connector (Camera Side) RJ45 (PoE PSE Compatible) Cable Type Category 5 or above, Straight through or cross over (Auto MDI/MDIX) Rates Supported 100BaseT / 10BaseT, full / half duplex.
