MOBOTIX media converter, Ethernet & PoE+ via two-wire line (Mx-A-ETP1A-2601-SET) ≤br>
The Mx-A-ETP1A-2601-SET from Mobotix is a professional network extender designed to transmit Ethernet data over existing two-wire cabling. Based on IEEE 1901 technology and supporting 10Base-T and 100Base-TX up to 100 Mb/s, this set enables reliable IP network connections over long distances without the need to install new Ethernet cables. It is particularly suitable for projects where only old two-wire lines are available (e.g. in existing buildings, industrial plants or infrastructure installations) but modern IP devices such as cameras, intercoms, sensors or control units are to be integrated.
Technically, the extender converts Ethernet signals so they can be transported over a simple two-wire line. On the device side, standard RJ45 Ethernet interfaces are used (10/100 Mb/s), while towards the field wiring a two-wire pair is used as the transmission medium. IEEE 1901 powerline-communication technology allows robust data transmission with adaptive modulation and error correction, so that stable performance can be achieved even under less ideal line conditions. The set is typically used as a point-to-point connection: one unit on the network side, one unit on the remote side, with the two-wire cable in between. Depending on cable quality and installation, ranges of several hundred meters (up to around 600 m) can be achieved at usable data rates.
Application areas include video surveillance, access control, building automation, industrial networking and retrofits in office and residential properties. Wherever IP components from Mobotix or third-party manufacturers need to be connected but only two-wire infrastructure exists (for example old doorbell lines, unused control cables, or legacy bus wiring), this extender set offers a cost-effective upgrade path. It helps integrators and end customers to modernize systems without structural interventions, drilling, or cable replacement, which significantly reduces installation time and costs. In addition, the reuse of existing cables simplifies planning and minimizes downtime during migration to IP technology.
The advantages of the Mx-A-ETP1A-2601-SET include flexible deployment in new and existing buildings, savings on cabling and installation, and increased reliability through proven Ethernet standards (10Base-T, 100Base-TX) in combination with robust IEEE 1901 transmission over two wires. The solution can be easily integrated into existing network structures and is ideal in combination with Mobotix IP video systems, door stations and IoT components, but can also be used with other standard-compliant network devices. By extending the range of Ethernet connections over two-wire cables, the set expands the design possibilities for planners and installers and enables IP connectivity where it was previously difficult or expensive to implement.
Mobotix is a German manufacturer known worldwide for its high-quality, decentralized IP video systems and intelligent security solutions. The company focuses on reliability, longevity and modular solutions that can be adapted to different industry requirements. In recent years Mobotix has also emphasized sustainability aspects: durable products, low-maintenance system designs and energy-efficient components help reduce resource consumption and total cost of ownership. In many projects, the reuse of existing infrastructure is explicitly supported - and network extenders like the Mx-A-ETP1A-2601-SET are an important building block for this approach. By using this product, customers not only benefit from a technically mature and future-oriented connectivity solution, but also contribute to sustainability: existing cabling is reused instead of being disposed of and replaced, less material is consumed, and installation-related interventions in buildings are minimized. Thus, the purchase supports both efficient project implementation and a more responsible use of resources.
