APPLICATIONS

You can connect the TW3001AR active receiver to transmitters, such as the TW3001P passive trans-
ceiver and the TW3001AT active transmitter, and to Pelco UTP cameras, such as the CC3710/CC3610
Series. Although you can connect these products using an unshielded twisted pair Cat3 and Cat5
cable, Cat5e and Cat6 are recommended for the best video performance.
Always connect the UTP wires on the Cat cable from + to + and from - to -. For example, if you connect
the blue wire to the + on the TW3001AR make sure you connect the other end of the blue wire to the
+ on the transmitter.
Table A shows the maximum cable distance with Coaxitron or video only when connecting the
TW3001AR to a TW3001P passive transceiver with a particular type of Cat cable.

NOTE:

Cat5e cable is recommended for the best video performance.
Table B shows the minimum size for a single wire and stranded wire.
