As illustrated in Figure 9 and in Figure 10, FX82052 connections consist of the following:

•Power connection

–A 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply can be used to power the module when used as a stand-alone unit. A 12 VDC power supply is provided. If a 24 VAC power supply is used, the power supply must be a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked as Class 2 and rated as 24 VAC, 0.50 A (minimum output).

–In extreme temperature conditions, it is recommended that an industrial-rated outdoor power supply such as the Pelco WCS1-4 power supply be used.

•10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections

–Use Category 5e or a higher category of cable to connect to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port. Cable length must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

–The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports are auto MDI/MDI-X ports; therefore, either a straight-through or crossover cable can be used. The ports automatically detect the cable type that is used. Refer to the Appendix. RJ-45 Connector Pinouts on page 38 for RJ-45 MDI/MDI-X pinout information.

•Fiber connections

–FX82052, -2 models: When connecting fiber between FX82052, -2 models, connect fiber port A of one module to fiber port B of another module. Similarly, connect fiber port B of one module to fiber port A of another module. Note that ports A and B connect fiber between FX82052, -2 models because of fiber wavelength compatibility:

•Multimode fiber port A transmits data at 1310 nm and receives data at 850 nm. Multimode fiber port B transmits data at 850 nm and receives data at 1310 nm.

•Single-mode fiber port A transmits data at 1310 nm and receives data at 1550 nm. Single-mode fiber port B transmits data at 1550 nm and receives data at 1310 nm.

Refer to Figure 11 for an illustration of fiber port connections in point-to-point applications with redundancy. Note that the FX Mode switch is set on one module to position 1 (fiber port A connects to the primary fiber link) and is set on the other module to position 2 (fiber port B connects to the primary fiber link).

Refer to Figure 12 for an illustration of fiber port connections in drop-and-repeat applica- tions. Note that the FX Mode switch is set to position 0 on all modules.

–FX82052, -4 models: When connecting fiber between FX82052, -4 models, connect fiber port A of one module to fiber port B of another module. Similarly, connect fiber port B of one module to fiber port A of another module.

Refer to Figure 13 for an illustration of fiber port connections in point-to-point applications with redundancy. Note that the FX Mode switch is set on one module to position 1 (fiber port A connects to the primary fiber link) and is set on the other module to position 2 (fiber port B connects to the primary fiber link).

Refer to Figure 14 for an illustration of fiber port connections in drop-and-repeat applica- tions. Note that the FX Mode switch is set to position 0 on all modules.

NOTE: On FX82052, -4 models, you can also connect fiber port A of one module to fiber port A of another module. Similarly, you can connect fiber port B of one module to fiber port B of another module. Note that in point-to-point applications with redundancy, you must then set the FX Mode switch as follows. If fiber port A connects to the primary fiber link, set the FX Mode switch to position 1 on both modules. If fiber port B connects to the primary fiber link, set the FX Mode switch to position 2 on both modules. In drop-and- repeat applications, the FX Mode switch is set to position 0 on all modules.

100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX specifications

Pelco offers advanced networking solutions suitable for modern surveillance applications, and among these are the 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX technologies. These Ethernet standards provide efficient and reliable communication for video transmission, crucial for security and monitoring systems.

100BASE-TX is an Ethernet standard that uses twisted-pair cables to achieve 100 Mbps data transfer speeds over distances of up to 100 meters. It typically operates over Category 5 (Cat 5) cables, which are widely available and cost-effective. This technology is particularly beneficial in environments where existing cabling can be utilized for video streaming and control of surveillance equipment, thereby reducing installation costs.

On the other hand, 100BASE-FX is designed for fiber-optic networks and offers a more extended range, going up to 2 kilometers. This technology is essential in applications where electromagnetic interference is a concern or where long-distance connectivity is necessary. 100BASE-FX uses multimode fiber cables, offering higher bandwidth and better security in sensitive environments, such as banks, airports, and government installations.

Both technologies feature auto-negotiation, allowing devices to automatically select the best possible speed and mode of operation. This flexibility simplifies installation processes and ensures optimal performance under varying conditions.

Additionally, Pelco’s 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX technologies support full-duplex communication, enabling simultaneous transmission and reception of data. This characteristic aids in minimizing latency and enhances the efficiency of video data delivery, which is crucial for real-time surveillance operations.

In terms of compatibility, these technologies integrate seamlessly with a variety of Pelco's camera systems and digital video recorders. Their ability to work with existing infrastructure without requiring significant upgrades makes them a practical choice for many organizations looking to enhance their surveillance capabilities.

With Pelco's commitment to quality and performance, the 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX technologies represent a robust option for modern security systems, providing reliable connectivity for both local and expansive networks. The choice between these two technologies ultimately depends on specific project requirements, enabling users to tailor solutions to their unique operational needs.
