Ethernet to Coax

HPNAAdapter

ctiontec Electronics,theleaderinhomeandsmallbusiness Anetworking, delivers yet another technological breakthrough withits newest innovation:theEthernet to CoaxHPNAAdapter(HCB1000). TheHCB1000 is designed

to connect between two distinct and discrete networking types: standard (and ubitquitous) 10/100BaseT Ethernet, and coax cabling, the new and emerging method to pipe multimedia into today’shomes and offices. By bridging these two environments, the HCB1000 enables the distribution of rich digital content in buildings and homes driven by emerging applications and/or devices from satellite and telco service providers, such as multi-room IPTV DVRs (digital video recorders).

The Next Generation Today

As homes and offices become increasingly equipped with multiple, high-definitionnetwork streams, and DVRs continue to penetrate the commercial IPTV market, the need for increased bandwidth within the home and office is becoming critical. The wired network is no longer simply a series of pathways to transfer small files or share applications; there is now a real need for high-performance IP networking that can deliver huge multimedia files at high rates of speed with no dropouts. Which is where the HCB1000 comes in. Supporting point-to-pointand point-to-multipoint networkconfigurations while transmittingdata according to the HPNA 3.1-over-coax specification, the HCB1000 is robust enough to handle any transferloads youcan throwitsway. It’salsooptimizedtoprovide high-speed delivery of video and VoIP (Voice of Internet Protocol) data with little or no packet loss.
