Altronix 4PT 1KM T1L SPE ADP/SW 2UPLINK - PACE4KL

Altronix PACE4KL Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Altronix PACE4KL is a 4-port SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) adapter and switch designed for extending IP camera connectivity up to 1 kilometer. This device simplifies infrastructure by enabling the use of single twisted-pair cabling for both data and power transmission, significantly reducing installation complexity and material costs in large-scale surveillance deployments. The PACE4KL is ideal for retrofitting older buildings or extending networks where traditional Ethernet cable runs are impractical or cost-prohibitive. Its compact form factor and power-over-cable capability make it a practical solution for distributed camera installations.

Compatibility

This unit is designed to work with Altronix SPE cameras and other IP cameras that support standard Ethernet connectivity. It acts as a bridge, allowing IP cameras to connect to a network switch or NVR up to 1000 meters away using a single pair of wires. It is compatible with Altronix's PACE series of long-reach Ethernet extenders and switches, facilitating a cohesive system architecture for extended IP surveillance networks.

Installation Notes

The PACE4KL requires a single twisted-pair cable (e.g., Cat5e or Cat6) for each connected camera, extending up to 1km. Power is delivered to the unit and then distributed to the connected cameras over the same pair, simplifying wiring. Ensure the cable run is within the 1km limit and free from excessive interference. The unit itself requires a 12VDC to 48VDC power input, which is then converted and delivered to the cameras. Proper termination of the twisted-pair cable is critical for reliable data and power transmission.
