M26 Camera Manual: Installation
2.1.3 Network Connection and Power Supply, UPS
Power Over Ethernet (PoE Conforming to IEEE 802.3af)
All M26 models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The Network Power Adapter
(MX-NPA-PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations. For larger installations, it is worth
investing in a PoE capable supply device available on the market.
The
maximum length
of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is
100 m
.
The Mx2wire+ media converter set (available as an accessory) can be used to extend the
range of an Ethernet connection up to 500 m in length (maximum transmission speed for a
500-m cable: 45 Mbps and 12 W for the PoE device).
Note
The MOBOTIX M26 can be powered by switches or routers which support the PoE (Power-
over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.
Advantages of PoE power supply:
• Allows setting up centralized backup power supply via the network.
• Reduces energy consumption.
• No extra network connection for camera required.
When directly connect-
ing to the computer, the
PoE adapter replaces
