Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable and standard RJ-45 connectors (568B termination). We recommend using high-
quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
RS-232 cables may be up to 500 ft (152.4 m).
Note
Use standard RJ-45 connectors and a good crimping tool. Do not use pass-through
RJ-45 connectors. Poorly crimped connectors can damage the connectors on the
product, cause intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Test cable pin-
outs and continuity before connecting them.
Intact
– Contact fingers will make reliable
contact with the cable connector
Damaged
– Some contact fingers are bent
and will NOT make reliable contact with the
cable connector
Caution
Check Cat-5 cables for continuity before using them. Using the wrong pin-out may damage the camera
system and void the warranty.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
