Overview:

Altronix HubWay8DS Passive UTP Transceiver Hub w/Integral Camera Power transmits UTP video, RS422/RS485 data
and power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 8 camera channels in a space saving 1U EIA 19”
rack mount chassis which may be rack, wall or shelf mounted. Video transmission range is up to 750 ft. max. per channel.
Units are compatible with AC and/or DC fixed or PTZ cameras when utilizing Altronix HubWayAv, HubWayDv or
HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners. In addition, the unit features individually selectable 24VAC or 28VAC, PTC
protected outputs with surge suppression. An optional HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera
Power unit can be used as an accessory module to transmit video from up to 4 cameras over a single CAT-5 or higher
structured cable back to the HubWay8DS. In addition, the HubSat unit provides power to these cameras locally to
eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

all local codes.

Installation Instructions:

1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWay8DS unit for 115VAC or 230VAC
operation (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).

2.

Attach mounting brackets to HubWay unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8). Affix rubber pads to

H

ubWay for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 8).

3.

Secure the unit in a rack, mount unit to a wall or place unit on a shelf as desired (unit should be spaced at least

3” from any video monitors).

4. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7).

5.

Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWay8DS unit (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Inser

t the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.

6. Set voltage output selector switch of each camera channel for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).

- 2 - HubWay Passive Unit

7. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWay8DS Channels 1-8 to the corresponding video inputs on the head end
equipment (DVR) (F

ig. 1d, pg. 4).

8. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the data input terminal block of
the HubWay8DS unit (polarity must be observed) (F

ig. 1c, pg. 4).

9. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWay8DS unit utilizing CAT-5 or higher structured cable.
Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [Channel 1] of the
HubWay8DS (Fig. 1g, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the structured cable into the
RJ45 jack of the

Video Balun/Combiner located at camera 1.

• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, pg. 5).

•

For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).

•

For non-isolated 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
Repeat steps 6-9 for each additional camera (Channels 2-8).
Note: When a particular camera exceeds the maximum distance for power transmission, a local
e

xternal power source is required. Optionally, an Altronix HubSat Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral
Camera Power unit may be utilized (Fig. 4a, pg. 6). The combined total cable distance must not exceed 750 ft.
for video transmission betw

een the HubWay8DS and each camera routed through the HubSat4D unit.

10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7) and measure the
output v
to insure proper operation and a

oltage at the power output of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before powering each camera

void possible damage.

• HubWayAv - Terminals marked [AC POWER] (Figs. 2a, 2b, pg. 5).

•

HubWayDv/HubWayDvi - Terminals marked [– 12VDC +] (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).

11.

Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position to make the final connections
(Fig. 5, pg. 7).

12. Connect the pow

er outputs of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to the

power inputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed.

13.

Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA -- ] of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
to the data terminals of the cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed. When using
fixed cameras disregard this step.

14. Connect the BNC connectors of the HubWayA

v, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to the

BNC video outputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5).

15. Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master po

wer disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position

(Fig. 5, pg. 7).

16. The power LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWay8DS will illuminate when AC
power is present (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
Note: If any of these LEDs are not illuminated either a voltage output selector switch is in the OFF position or the
PTC is tripped for that channel.
T

o reset the PTC:

1. Set the voltage output selector switch for that corresponding channel to the OFF position. Switch must remain

in the OFF position for approximately 2 minutes in order for the PTC to reset.

2. Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).

3. Set the voltage output selector switch for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).

17.

AC LEDs (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LEDs (Red) of the HubWayDv/HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
will illuminate indicating power is present at the cameras (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 5).
