Cabling and connectors | Configurations 3-2
3.1 Configurations
3.1.1 Camera with Triax adapter
A camera head with an LDK 5430 Triax adapter can be connected to an LDK 4501 Base
Station using a Triax cable. The maximum length of cable that can be used without
significant degradation of the video signal is 3000m (10,000 ft.) for a 14mm Triax
cable. The power supply is applied to the Base Station and via the Triax cable to the
camera. An OCP 400 operational control panel can be connected directly to the Base
Station using a cross-over Ethernet cable.

3.1.2 Multiple Triax cameras with C2IP network
Each camera head with an LDK 5430 Triax adapter can be connected to an LDK 4501
Base Station using a Triax cable. The maximum length of cable that can be used
without significant degradation of the video signal is 3000m (10,000 ft.) for a 14mm
Triax cable. The power supply is applied to the Base Station and via the Triax cable to
the camera.
The Base Stations are each connected to a network hub or router via an Ethernet cable
(straight through, not cross-over). The OCP 400 operational control panels and, if
required the MCP 400 Master Control Panel, are also connected to the Ethernet
network via a hub or router.
Optionally, a Series 9000 OCP can be connected directly to a Base Station using a two-
wire bus cable. In this situation no loop-through is available and the camera number
must be set to 1.
