8.1.2 Power and I/O Cable Details
The Power and I/O Cable that is used for the CC5MPX camera has an outdoor
environmentally rated screw type connector on one end and discrete wire
pigtails on the other end that allow for flexible termination. When making the
cable connection to the camera, the notch positions should always be lined up
and care should be taken to not cross the connector.
