Phybridge NVT FLEX Series FLEX-C Network Extender - 100Mb LAN

The Phybridge NVT FLEX Series FLEX-C is a high-performance network extender designed to extend Ethernet connectivity over existing coaxial cable or 2-wire infrastructure. Ideal for upgrading legacy systems without rewiring, this device supports Fast Ethernet speeds up to 100 Mbps and delivers Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) to connected devices, simplifying deployment in remote locations.

Advantages

Leverage existing coax or 2-wire cabling to extend network reach up to 610 meters (coax) or 365 meters (2-wire). PoE+ support provides up to 30W of power, eliminating the need for separate power outlets. Compact, wall-mountable design ensures easy installation in space-constrained environments.

Suitable for

• Extending network connectivity in commercial buildings, hotels, and campuses
• Connecting IP cameras, access points, and IoT devices over long distances
• Upgrading legacy coaxial-based systems to modern Ethernet networks
