Transition Networks Inc. has announced the availability of its Ethernet Over Coax Extender with PoE+, which the company said reduces cost and accelerates time to service by utilizing existing coax cabling infrastructure to upgrade from analog to IP-based surveillance cameras or connect other IP devices to the Ethernet network.
The new extender conforms to the IEEE 802.3 af/at standard for compliance with other PoE / PoE+ powered devices, allowing edge devices to be quickly and easily located in places where power was previously not available and helping to avoid unnecessary and costly electrical installations, the company said.
The Ethernet Over Coax Extenders are used in pairs, with a local (EOCPSE4020-110) and remote (EOCPD4020-110) device placed at opposite ends of a 75-ohm coax cable and is capable of delivering a full 25 Watts of power to the edge device at near Gigabit speed.

Category 8 Ethernet cable will play a major role in meeting today’s burgeoning needs for high-speed communications, whether in the data centre, voice, video or other high bandwidth applications that run on copper cable for distances up to 30 meters, according to Optical Cable Corp. (OCC)
To ensure that Category 8 adopters will effectively reach data speeds of up to 40 Gb/s – four times the speeds of many of today’s users, the company recently announced that it had launched a new RJ-45 plug with integral circuit board technology that provides advanced control of crosstalk, return loss, and other impediments, ensuring consistent performance at higher frequencies up to 2000 MHz.
Prior to the introduction of the product cable engineers viewed the challenge of transmitting data at rates of up to four times faster over a standard RJ-45 connector as a major concern.
The new RJ-45 plug model is fully backward compatible with existing RJ-45 infrastructure used by a majority of Ethernet connection ports, including Cat 6A, Cat 6 and Cat 5e cabling. It is field installable, and should be familiar to many cable installers. OCC said.
