Overview

The CXM22 is unique unshielded twisted pair (UTP) transmission product designed to operate with TIA/EIA standards-based network cabling. The Card plugs into and is powered through the CX452 modular card cage. The CXM22 is designed to accommodate four cameras. The primary function of the CXM22 is to provide a means of interfacing copper backbone cables to horizontal cable runs and inserting voltage to the individual camera and or P/TZ provides data distribution. Using single standards-compliant 4-pair UTP Category 5 or better cable, video, data and power can be sent up to 100 meters to a fixed or P/T/Z camera.

Wire and Cable Recommendations

We recommend using unshielded twisted pair wiring the system will operate over wire 26 ton 18 AWG but are optimized for 24 AWG. Category cables may be used. Individually shielded pairs should be avoided as they drastically reduce the operating range of the systems. Multipair cable with an overall shield is acceptable. Video can be operated in the same communication cable coexistent with telephone, computer, control signals, power voltage and other signals, power voltages, and other video signals. While the video may be routed through telephone punch-down block terminals, any bridge taps, also called, T-taps and any resistive, capacitive, or inductive devices MUST BE removed from the pair.
