PowerPlus - High Power/Long Distance with HDX Power Supply

When power needs to be run for distances exceeding 240 meters or power requirements
exceed 95 watts for the camera and accessories, the external HDX power supply and
PowerPlus may be utilized. The PowerPlus can deliver up to 150 watts of power to the
camera and accessories.

The first part of the fiber run can be made via "dry" tactical or infrastructure fiber, after
which the HDX power supply is placed in line to provide powered SMPTE hybrid fiber cable
for the camera.

Such a system is typically configured as shown in

Figure 2-4

and includes the following

components:
