Altronix, a manufacturer of low-voltage power supplies and transmission solutions for the electronic security industry, introduced Pace™ Long Range Ethernet Adapters at ISC West. The latest addition to Altronix’s expanding line of adaptive transmission solutions, Pace1PRMT makes it possible for users to upgrade surveillance and security systems with new IP cameras and edge devices using existing or legacy infrastructure at distances greater than 100m (328 ft.) without repeaters. Pace1PRMT is PoE/PoE+ compliant and transmits data at 100mbps full duplex over CAT5e or higher cable up to 500m (1,640 ft.), and up to 150m (500 ft.) over single twisted pair (UTP).
“Our new Pace Long Range Ethernet Adapters allow systems with CAT5e infrastructure to cost-efficiently accommodate IP cameras and edge devices over longer distances, or when upgrading systems with legacy UTP infrastructure,” said Alan Forman, president of Altronix. “Deploying edge devices further from the head-end without compromising performance or having to use repeaters provides numerous installation, budgetary and security advantages.”
