2.1.3 NetworkConnectionandPowerSupply,UPS
Power-Over-Ethernet(PoEConformingtoIEEE802.3af)
All M16 models are supplied with power using the PoE standard. The PoE Adapter Set (MX-NPA-
PoE-Set) may be used for smaller installations, or the weatherproof PoE injector MX-NPA-Box
(MX-OPT-NPA1-EXT) may be used in outdoor scenarios. For larger installations, we recommend
investing in a PoE-capable supply device available on the market. Section 2.7 contains more
informationonthepossiblecombinationsofconnectingtheM16andpowersupplyoptions.
The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable is
100 m/110 yd. 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/550 yd cable: 45 Mbps and 12 W for the PoE device).
Note
The MOBOTIX M16 can be powered by switches or routers that support the PoE (Power-
over-Ethernet) standard and conform to IEEE 802.3af.
Advantages of PoE power supply:
• Centralized backup power supply available via network
• Lower,morecost-eectivepowerconsumption
• Camera does not require an additional network connection
The M16 supports Power-
