Overview
1.1. Description
The LongReach 16 is a 16-port Active CCTV Receiver Hub that provides a
centralized cabling solution for medium and large CCTV installations via
copper twisted pair.
The LongReach 16 features Automatic Gain Control for picture brightness,
sharpness and contrast, thereby helping to reduce on-site service calls. The
LongReach 16 supports up to 4,500 ft (1,371m) via Category 5/6 twisted pair
cable when used in conjunction with MuxLab’s passive CCTV Baluns (p/n
500000, 500009, 500022 and 500023) at the camera end.
The LongReach 16 automatically adjusts the brightness, sharpness and color
intensity of the video signal based on the actual cable conditions such as cable
grade, distance, environmental effects on the cable, etc. Any further
enhancements to the image may be made at the camera, monitor, multiplexer
or DVR. The product requires a floating 24VAC, 40VA power transformer
(included) and connects directly to the DVR or CCTV multiplexer.
There are two models as shown in the photos below; The 500120 and the
500122. The 500120 features UTP on both input and output for installation in
remote telecom or wiring rooms. The 500122 features UTP on the input and
coax on the output for installation next to the central monitoring (DVR or
multiplexer) equipment.
