More than just power.

TM

Overview:

Altronix HubWayEX16S Active UTP Transceiver Hub employs automatic gain control (AGC) to transmit UTP video and
RS422/RS485 data over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 16 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 one mile max.
per channel. Units are compatible with fixed or PTZ cameras. An optional HubSat4D/Di Passi v e UTP Transceiv er Hub with
Integral Camera Power 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 HubWayEX16S. In addition, the HubSat4D/Di provides power to these cameras
local ly to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

Specifications:

Input:

• 115VAC 60Hz, 0.4 amp or 230VAC 50Hz, 0.2 amp.

Video:

• Sixteen (16) channels of video over twisted pair up to
a distance of 5000 ft. per channel.

• Sixteen (16) 75 ohm video outputs.

Data:

• RS422/RS485 data inputs.

Visual Indicators:

• AC input power indicator.

• Video signal LED indicators.

Features:

• Automatic picture and gain control.

• Automatic compensation for reverse polarity wiring.

• Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker
with manual reset.

• IEC 320 - 3-wire grounded line cord (detachable).

• Unit can be rack, wall or shelf mounted.

• 1U rack mount chassis for use in standard EIA 19” rack.

Accessories:

• Optional HubSat4D/Di allows transmission of up to
four (4) video signals over a single CAT-5 or higher
structured cable.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local codes.

Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and
authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.

1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayEX16S unit (facing front panel)
for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 3g, pg. 4).

8. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWayEX16S unit utilizing CAT-5 or higher
structured cable. Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [1]
of the HubWayEX16S (Fig. 3a, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the structured
cable into the RJ45 jack of the

Typical Application Utilizing HubSat4D/Di as a Remote Accessory Module

with HubWayEX16S UTP Transceiver Hub:

The lightning flash with arrow head symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of an insulated “DANGEROUS VOLTAGE” within the products enclosure that may be of suff icient
magnitude to constitute an electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open enclosure. There
