Comnet Analog Baseband Video and 10/100TX Ethernet Over Single RG59 Coaxial Cable - CLRVE1COAX

Comnet CLRVE1COAX Analog Video and Ethernet Over Coax Receiver

Overview

The Comnet CLRVE1COAX is a single-channel receiver that combines composite analog baseband video and 10/100TX Ethernet on a single RG59 coaxial cable run up to 500 meters. Use this when you're extending legacy analog cameras or mixing analog CCTV with modern IP infrastructure over existing coax runs — a real constraint in retrofit installations where running new cable is cost-prohibitive. The receiver pairs with a Comnet CLTVE1COAX transmitter to create a full duplex link.

Compatibility

This receiver accepts analog composite video (NTSC or PAL baseband) from any standard CCTV camera or DVR output. Ethernet connectivity is 10/100TX on RJ-45, making it compatible with any standard network device — managed switches, NVRs, edge compute appliances, or PoE injectors. The unit is specified as a single-channel receiver; dual-channel models exist in the Comnet line if you need to aggregate multiple coax runs into a single network interface.

Installation Notes

Input voltage is 24VAC (required for powering the receiver). If selecting the PoE-capable variant, IEEE 802.3at power delivery is available from the network side, eliminating the need for a separate 24VAC supply at the receiver location — a significant advantage in distributed installations. Coaxial cable must be RG59; impedance mismatch or use of RG6 will degrade both video and Ethernet performance. Asymmetric throughput is built into the design: transmitter-to-receiver Ethernet runs at 36 Mbps (video + data downstream), while receiver-to-transmitter is capped at 4 Mbps (control/metadata upstream). Plan data flows accordingly — this is not a balanced gigabit link.
