3.3. Pre-Installation Checklist
The Passive CCTV Hub provides a centralized sixteen (16) port CCTV copper
twisted pair cabling solution.
1. The Passive CCTV Hub is used in a CCTV installation to manage the
video, power and control connections between the CCTV cameras and the
head-end.
2. There are two (2) models of the Passive CCTV Hub; 500130 and 500131.
The difference between the 500130 and 500131 is that the video portion of
the 500130 incorporates a video balun at each port and is connected to the
DVR via coaxial cable. The video portion of the 500131 is fully twisted
pair on the input and output and connected to the DVR via twisted pair
cable. In order to convert from twisted pair back to coax, a CCTV video
balun is connected at each DVR port.
3. The products feature a switch at each port to select between Pass-Thru
Mode (500022 compatible) or Power-Thru Mode (500024/500029
compatible) depending on the cabling configuration.
4. The Passive CCTV Hub works in conjunction with MuxLab’s other CCTV
products including the 500000, 500009, 500015, 500022, 500023, 500024,
500029, 500120 and 500122). The passive CCTV Baluns are connected at
the CCTV camera.
5. The Passive CCTV Hub works with CCTV cameras that have built-in
twisted pair baluns. It may be necessary to reverse the polarity of the wires
first. Distance performance may vary.
