Power cable requirements—Indoor Dome
The following table shows the maximum cable
distance for several worst-case low line voltages
between various indoor power sources and the
indoor SpeedDome Optima. These distances are
for Sensormatic composite cables, which use 18
AWG
ac power wires.
This table applies to domes produced after October
of 2001; distances are much less for earlier domes.
Twisted Pair Adapter
The ADACTP01BNC Twisted Pair Adapter
(supplied) can be used to transmit video or video
with up-the-coax (UTC) dome control signals over
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, point-to-
point, up to 300m (1000ft).
The adapter mounts directly to the video source or
receiver without additional cabling and uses
Category 2-6 twisted pair wires to transmit the
video and dome control signals. The adapter does
not require power.
One adapter is supplied. If used, another adapter
must be ordered to for the connection at the other
end of the cable. The figure below shows twisted
pair cable connections. See installation guide
8200-0298-01 for details.
