Overview:

Altronix HubWayEX16/EX32 Active UTP Transceiver Hub employs automatic gain control (AGC) to transmit UTP
video, RS422/RS485 data over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Units provide either 16 or 32 camera channels
i

n 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. Each grouped camera channel pro­vides video transmission for up to four (4) cameras over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. This permits the
installation of up to sixteen (16) cameras at remote locations over four (4) CAT-5 or higher structured cables or thirty-two
(32) cameras at remote locations over eight (8) CAT-5 or higher structured cables.
