3.2About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used (CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances). For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors, make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).

For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
