Altronix KXTAFLHDLMECH | Four Port Single Pair Ethernet Media Adapter/Switch, IEEE 802.3cg Ethernet, SPE over UTP, Board

Altronix Pace4KR is a 4-port SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) Media Adapter/Switch 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 Pace4KR is connected to a PoE midspan/endspan switch at the headend and passes network data and power to the remote PaceKT Series transceiver(s) over UTP up to 1km (1,000m, 3,280 ft.). Pace1KT & Pace2KT transceivers can connect to one or two remote devices, such a as a camera(s) or controllers, respectively. For non-enable PoE devices, only data will be transmitted. Cable distances and multi-node device drop-offs are facilitated by using one of the two Pace2KT ports for the continued network link in a daisy chain manner.

For a direct T1L remote device, use Pace1K12/24S adapter to split T1L data & power for a compatible device.
