Repeater Model (
TB5328-RF3/RT, TB53B6-HRT/HRF3.
) Cascade
Connections
Each camera consumes up to 14.5W power. Up to 2 R model cameras and 1 non-repeater
camera can be cascaded in a configuration with a cabling distance of up to 300 meters.
The precondition is the use of the AE-FED-0500-120 PoE switch, which can deliver more
than 50W of power per port (exceeding the 802.3at specifications).
Please use quality cables when cabling over an extended distance. Power loss due to
resistance can occur with low-quality cables.

Many copper coated aluminum (CCA) and other non-standard conductors cabling products
are masqueraded as CAT5E or CAT6 cables. Please avoid using these CCA products
especially when cascading PoE cameras. It is a must to use Ethernet cables compliant
with the 3P/ETL standard.
IMPORTANT:
The TB "E" series (heater models)
can not be applied in the cascade
configuration due to its extra power
consumption.
