IP & PoE over Coax Converters

Buildings wired for analogue CCTV already have coax to every camera position. An IP-over-coax converter pair lets an IP camera use that cable instead of pulling new Cat5/6 through finished walls.

The 4 models here reach 500 m, 300 m and 2 km over coax or twisted pair, at 90–94 Mbps of converter throughput, and one variant delivers 30 W of PoE at the far end so a PoE camera runs on a single coax drop.

How to choose

  • Check the cable before the converter. Continuity, impedance consistency and connector condition decide whether the link comes up; coax that was spliced for analogue taps is the usual failure.
  • Distance against the model rating. The three models are rated at 500 m, 2 km and 300 m — pick by the run, not by price.
  • PoE or not. Without a PoE output the far-end camera needs a local supply, which means a power point at the camera position.
  • Bandwidth is shared. Converters sustain 90–94 Mbps, so several cameras on one pair is a different calculation from one camera per pair.

Frequently asked

Does it work on any coax?

It is specified for coaxial cable, twisted pair and RVV. The practical checks are continuity, characteristic impedance consistency and the condition of the connectors — a run that worked for analogue video is not automatically clean for a modulated Ethernet signal.

Can I buy one converter on its own?

No — the pair is the product. One unit modulates onto the coax, the other recovers Ethernet at the far end; a single unit has nothing to talk to.

What link speed do I get?

90–94 Mbps depending on the model, which is the throughput the pair sustains over the coax. Plan camera bitrates against that figure, not against the gigabit port on the switch.

Is this a replacement for a PoE extender?

No. A PoE extender repeats a PoE link over twisted pair; this converter changes the physical medium to coax. Which applies depends on what cable is already in the wall.
