Warning: Use of insufficient wire gauge can result in fire. Suggested gauge
depends on supply voltage shown. For lower supply voltages, lower gauge wire
must be used.
Video Connections
The video cables from the camera are terminated with F-type male connectors.
Video cables of various lengths with F-type female connectors at one end and
BNC-connectors at the other end are available from FLIR. The video cable used
should be rated as RG59/U or better to ensure an adequate quality video signal.
Another alternative is to interconnect the camera video cable to a longer video
cable using an optional F-type female-to-female adaptor (FLIR PN 4115330). For
cable runs in excess of 100’, a video amplifier should be used.
Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet cable from the camera can be connected to another Ethernet cable
with the included RJ45 waterproof enclosure connector (FLIR PN 4115028).
The Ethernet network cable should be rated for use with PoE devices
(IEEE802.3af) and should be 8-conductor T568B, Ethernet, double-shielded for
EMI considerations (FLIR PN 308-0163-25 or equivalent).
