Pre-Installation Checklist
The Passive CCTV Hub provides a centralized sixteen (16) port CCTV copper
twisted pair cabling solution.
1.
The Passive CCTV Hub is used in a CCTV installation to manage the video,
power and control connections between the CCTV cameras and the head-end.
2.
There are two (2) models of the Passive CCTV Hub; IC562A and IC563A.
The difference between the IC562A and IC563A is that the video portion of the
IC562A incorporates a video balun at each port and is connected to the DVR
via coaxial cable. The video portion of the IC563A is fully twisted pair on the
input and output and connected to the DVR via twisted pair cable. In order to
convert from twisted pair back to coax, a CCTV video balun is connected at
each DVR port.
3.
The products feature a switch at each port to select between Pass-Thru Mode
(IC452A compatible) or Power-Thru Mode (IC560A/IC561A compatible)
depending on the cabling configuration.
4.
The Passive CCTV Hub works in conjunction with Black Box’s other CCTV
products including the IC440A, IC444A, IC453A, IC452A, IC451A, IC560A,
IC561A, IC454A and IC455A). The passive CCTV Baluns are connected at
the CCTV camera.
5.
The Passive CCTV Hub works with CCTV cameras that have built-in twisted
pair baluns. It may be necessary to reverse the polarity of the wires first.
Distance performance may vary.
