1 Indoor main building
2 Network switch with shielded ports
and grounding as recommended by the
manufacturer. All network cables must
be terminated with shielded RJ45
connectors.
3 Surge suppression for indoor
equipment at cable entry
4 Outdoor rated surge suppressor with
shielded RJ45 connections that must
be mounted as close to the camera as
possible. Connect the ground per the
manufacturer’s installation manual.
5 Install Cat5e/Cat6 shielded Ethernet cable such as F/UTP shielded cable with twisted
pairs (often referred to as FTP) or S/UTP braided shield with twisted pairs (often
referred to as STP) with shielded RJ45 connectors.
The cable must be routed through a permanently earthed metal conduit that is Earth-
grounded across the entire span.
The cables must be a maximum length of 100 m (328 ft). Power and signal cables
must be in separate conduits with the correct physical separation distance between
them. (Refer to the section
Additional wiring guidelines
.)
6 Outdoor rated midspan with shielded
RJ45 connections
7 Equipment enclosure with AC power
source for the midspan
8 Optional outdoor rated network switch
or patch panel
9 Connect the Bus Bar to the Equipment
Grounding Electrode.
10 Lightning Rod (Refer to the section

Additional wiring guidelines
Maintain the physical separation distance between the Ethernet cable and high voltage/EMF
sources. These are typical recommendations, but also refer to local electrical codes.
Voltage range
Minimum separation distance
For <600 VAC
50 mm (2 in.)
For >600 VAC and <3 kV
1.5 m (5 ft)
For >3 kV
3 m (10 ft)
Also use shielded cables for alarms, audio, or any other connections when applicable.
