Use Table E to help identify the necessary wire gauge and maximum cable distance. This table applies to two-conductor solid copper wire.
(Reduce distance by 10% for stranded copper wire.) These maximum distances are based on a maximum allowable voltage drop of 10%.
Table E.
Recommended Wire Gauge and Maximum Wiring Distances
Connect power to the SP04-140. The Pelco badge (blue) and the status light (green) on the front panel should glow.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
When using one or more network switches with the Endura system, make sure you enable auto negotiation on all switches.
Connect the SP04-140 video encoder to your network:
1. Connect a 10/100/1000BaseT network Cat5e (or better) cable to the RJ-45 network connector on the front panel. The encoder
automatically searches the network for other Endura components.
2. Check the indicators on the front panel. They show network connection speed and status (refer to
Front Panel Indicators
).
