2.2.2 Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply
• Power is supplied to the camera via the camera Ethernet connection (patch or instal-
lation cable). We recommend using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or another similar
high-quality PoE product to loop-in the power supply:
– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE or MX-NPA-Box)
– Multiple cameras: with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)
• The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable
is 100m/110yd.
• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100 Mbps
network interface of the camera.
•
We highly recommend using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup
power.
• If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Power-over-Ethernet network
components to supply power to MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that
these components do not have a fan. Since the power consumption of MOBOTIX
cameras is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system
is increased, thus extending the life of these components.
