Media converter kit Atte ATTE ETH10-2wire — Ethernet over 2-wire for CCTV, access control, basic LAN

The Atte ATTE ETH10-2wire Converter Set transmits Ethernet signals over existing two-wire cabling, enabling network connectivity in installations where standard Ethernet cabling is unavailable or impractical. Designed for CCTV, access control and basic LAN links, this kit allows IP cameras, controllers and other Ethernet devices to connect using legacy wiring or long-distance runs. The set simplifies installation, reduces the need for full rewiring and provides a practical solution for extending network devices in commercial and residential sites.

Advantages

The converter set uses existing two-wire infrastructure to carry Ethernet traffic, reducing installation time and material costs compared with installing new Cat5/6 cabling. It supports integration of video surveillance cameras and access control equipment without replacing conduit or pulling new cables. The compact modules are suitable for discreet installation and are engineered to maintain a stable link over extended distances where conventional Ethernet would require repeaters or fiber. The design focuses on compatibility with common network devices and straightforward deployment.

Suitable for

• Extending IP cameras over legacy two-wire cabling
• Connecting access control panels and door controllers where Ethernet is not available
• Basic LAN links for low-traffic network devices and sensors
• Temporary or permanent installations in renovated buildings without new cable runs

Key specifications

• Transmission medium: existing two-wire copper cabling
• Application areas: CCTV, access control, basic LAN connectivity
• Compatibility: standard Ethernet devices (link at device side through converter)
• Installation type: inline modules for local mounting near devices or distribution points
• Range: designed for long-distance runs over two-wire infrastructure (actual distance depends on cable quality and environment)

How to use

Install one converter module at the network switch or PoE injector side and the paired module at the remote device location. Connect the Ethernet port of the local module to the switch or injector using a standard Ethernet patch cable, and terminate the two-wire pair to the converter’s two-wire terminals. At the remote end, connect the two-wire pair to the paired converter and link the converter’s Ethernet port to the IP camera, access controller or other device. Verify link status LEDs and network connectivity; adjust cable routing to minimize interference and ensure reliable contact at terminal points.

Recommendations

For best results, use quality two-wire copper cabling in good condition, keep wiring runs away from strong EMI sources, and test connectivity after installation. When powering devices via PoE, confirm that power sourcing equipment and converter pairing support the required power levels. For critical surveillance or high-bandwidth applications, consider using conventional Ethernet or fiber where feasible.
