The EC-1500C Series is ideally suited for applications where the existing coaxial cable needs to be leveraged for transmission of IP signals. For UTP applications, the EC-1500U Series is an effective Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 UTP extender device beyond the 100 m (328 ft) limit of traditional Ethernet. In addition, for system configurations that have a single cable connected to the camera, the EC-1500C/U Series can pass through PoE (up to 15 W) to the camera. Designed to be a cost-effective, general-use product, the EC-1500C/U Series provides maximum flexibility in these applications without any programming.

The EthernetConnect™ EC-1500C/U Series is used to extend Ethernet over copper (EoC). The EC-1500C Series extends up to 16 ports of 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with pass-through PoE over coaxial cable. The EC-1500U Series extends up to 16 ports of 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with pass-through PoE over twisted pair Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 UTP cable. Single-channel units can be powered from a PoE source, allowing for an installed network where power is not readily available.

The EC-1500C/U Series units provide the ultimate flexibility for extending a powered device (PD) over long distance copper. DIP switches are provided for the user to select local or remote settings. All application configurations should be verified at the time of ordering to facilitate ease of installation.
