5. Seal the hole in the mounting foot of the camera housing
with RTV or an equivalent seal. If a fitting was used in the
mounting foot, apply the seal around the UTP cable before
tightening the fitting to prevent slippage.

6. Attach the housing to the mount in accordance with the
KBE and KBN Series Instruction Manual.

4.6.2 Wiring Do’s

1. Use point to point unshielded twisted pair wire, 24 AWG or
thicker, stranded or solid, Category 2, 3, 4, or 5.

2. The video signal may coexist in the same wire bundle as
other video, telephone, data, control signals, or low
voltage power.

3. Measure the wire distance. Use only receivers designed for
that distance.

4. Make sure the pair of wires carrying the video signal is sent
as a twisted pair, not a split pair.

4.6.3 Wiring Don’ts

1. DO NOT USE SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR WIRE, as this will
severely degrade the distance performance. Short runs
may be used with some signal degradation. Multi-pair wire
with an overall shield is OK.

2. DO NOT USE UNTWISTED WIRE, as this will reduce the
inherent immunity to interference.

3. DO NOT allow your installation to have bridge / taps,
loading coils, talk-battery, or MOV type protectors. Bridge
taps refer to a twisted pair connected to two twisted pairs
(such as an extension phone). Bridge taps cause
reflections as the signal propagates, resulting in ghosts in
the image.

4. If the phone company is providing the cable runs between
buildings, make sure it is dry copper (i.e. it should have
none of the following: dial tone, 48 V, loading coils, bridge
taps, switching, or long paths to the phone company's
central office and back).

5. Due to near-end cross talk, DO NOT send a transmit and
receive signal in the same wire bundle. Exceptions: Less

F01U078718 | 2.0 | 2008.01 Instruction Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

KBE and KBN Series Installation | en 19

than 1000 ft. (304.8 m), or Category 5 cable up to 609.6 m
(2000 ft).

6. For safety, never put signals in the same conduit as high
voltage wiring.

4.6.4 F (Fiber Optic) Suffix Connections

These models include a fiber optic transmitter added to the
standard construction.

1. Make all power connections in accordance with the KBE
and KBN Series Instruction Manual.

2. Pass the supplied orange string through the mounting foot

5. Pass the supplied orange string through the mounting foot
of the camera housing and the furnished mount. See
Figure 4.2. A fitting may be used in the mounting foot if
desired.

6. Attach the end of the string to the Cat5/Cat6 cable and
pull it through the mount and the unused hole in the
mounting foot of the camera housing. See Figure 4.3.

7. Connect the Cat5 / Cat6 cable to the network connector
on the back of the camera. See Figure 4.4.

8. If an unterminated Cat5/Cat6 cable is being used, a fitting
may be used in the mounting foot of the camera housing.
The network cable should be terminated with an RJ-45
connector in accordance with the connector
manufacturer’s recommendations.

9. Seal the hole in the mounting foot of the camera housing
with RTV or an equivalent seal. See Figure 4.5. If a fitting
was used in the mounting foot, apply the seal around the
network cable before tightening the fitting, to prevent
slippage. A split rubber sleeve (not supplied) may be used
for this purpose.
