							1   PrefaceThis product is a coaxial - LAN converter consisting of the receiver side unit and the
camera side unit. It is capable of implementing long distance, high speed digital data
transmission on existing coaxial cables with low setup costs. With the built-in PoE
function, the unit is able to supply power to Panasonic network cameras, which
eliminates the need for installing power outlets for the cameras.
About notations The following notations are used when describing the functions limited for specified
models.
The functions without the notations are supported by all models.

: The functions with these notation are available when using the model
WJ-PR204/WJ-PR204E.

: The functions with these notation are available when using the model
WJ-PR201/WJ-PR201E.

: The functions with these notation are available when using the model
WJ-PC200/WJ-PC200E.
Note
• The Coaxial - LAN Converter (RECEIVER) is called the receiver side unit andthe LAN Converter (CAMERA) is called the camera side unit in this document.

							1.1  Main Features
To the receiver side, a 4ch model has been newly added in addition to the 1ch
model.
Up to 4 network cameras can be connected and used on a single receiver side unit.
 Now we have a true space-saving system.
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ready The coaxial - LAN converter is compliant with PoE+ standards (IEEE802.3at) and 
PoE+ cameras can be connected and used *1
.
Use over long distances 
The coaxial - LAN converter can be used for distances of up to 300 m (984 feet) for 
PoE+ connections and 500 m  (1,640 feet) for PoE connections, and 2.0 km  (6,560 feet)
for non-PoE+ connections. (When used with RG-6/U coaxial cable, and the loop
resistance is below 4  W/100 m {328 feet} without additional joint parts.)
High-speed transmission The coaxial - LAN converter is capable of transmission speeds of 35 Mbps or over for
TCP *2
, and 45 Mbps or over for UDP connections. *2
 (When used with RG-6/U coaxial
cable, and for distances under 2.0 km (6,560 feet) 
, 500 m (1,640 feet)
).
No setup required Connections can be established by simply connecting the coaxial cable to the coaxial
- LAN converter.
*1 There are limitations on the combinations of the cameras to be connected, the type of power supply and
transmission range to the receiver side units. Please see page 30 for details. For information on network
cameras recommended by Panasonic, see the Panasonic support site
(http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/support/info.html).
*2 Transmission speed is the speed of transmission between the receiver side unit and the camera side unit.
Values may vary depending on the condition of the coaxial cable  (for example, as the cable deteriorates over
time), network conditions, etc.
