The Etherstretch Model EL1500C IP Devices over Coax Network Extender-PoE Inserter System is another IP Video Transmission Solution from Nitek. The System transmits IP devices over Coax and can quickly turn any ordinary RG59U coaxial cable into a high speed network communication and PoE path. When operating over RG59U coaxial cable, the coax network extender system can operate for distances of up to 500 meters (1640 feet).The EL1500C Coax Ethernet Extender System consists of a Transmitter and a Receiver set, which requires very little installation time and absolutely no set up or configuration. The EL1500C Ethernet over Coax Network Extender Transmitter and Receiver are transparent to the network and have no IP or MAC addressing. Simply connect network devices to the network ports of the Transmitter and Receiver along with existing cabling and the system begins communicating. LED indicators show the status of network communication and PoE power. When connected to a PoE switch, power from the switch is used as the power source for the connected EL1500C Receiver. In applications where network switches are not PoE capable, an optional power source (PS48 sold separately) can be used to insert power to the EL1500C Receiver. The power is sent from the Receiver over the coax to the Transmitter.

The Transmitter uses PoE as its power source and powers the connected PoE network device as well. The EL1500C Coax Network Extender System extends network communications to overcome cable distance limitations offering connections to devices in locations traditional networking does not allow.
