Overview

Altronix Pace1KRT is a long-range Ethernet adapter kit solution that transmits data and power via twisted pair (2-wire, UTP or shielded) in a PoE(+) compliant format. In addition to new SPE (UTP) Ethernet network installations for Surveillance-cameras/Security/Industrial/BMS/HVAC & Elevator Controllers, applications include upgrading of legacy networks, i.e. LONworks, RS485, 4-20ma Control Loops, etc. by using the existing two wire cabling, thus saving rip-out & reinstallation costs. Operationally, the Pace1KR is connected to a POE midspan/endspan switch at the headend and passes network data and power to the Pace1KT from the switch via UTP up to 1km (1,000m, 3,280 ft.) to a remote 10/100 PoE device, such as a camera. For non-PoE remote devices, data only is transmitted.
