Overview

1.1. Description

The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub (500133) allows video, remote power and PTZ control to be transmitted via one 4-pair Cat 5 cable, thus eliminating the need to install multiple cables for more efficient cabling in the security video environment. The product features Ground Loop Isolation (GLI) on every port and therefore is applicable where there are voltage differences in ground level.

The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub works in conjunction with MuxLab’s 500000R, 500009, 500015, 500022, 500023, 500024, 500029, 500120 and 500122. Each port on the product may be set to Power-Thru or Pass-Thru mode via 2-position slide switch.

1.2. Features

• Ground Loop Isolation (GLI) on every port.

• Slide-switch to set each port to Pass-Thru Mode

(500022) or Power-Thru Mode (500024/500029)

• Pin configuration chart on unit

• Space efficient, rack-mountable

3.3. Pre-Installation Checklist

The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub provides a centralized sixteen (16) port CCTV copper twisted pair cabling solution.

1. The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub is used in a CCTV

installation to manage the video, power and control connections between the CCTV cameras and the head-end.

2. The product incorporates a video balun at each port

and is connected to the DVR via coaxial cable and features a switch at each port to select between PassThru Mode (500022 compatible) or Power-Thru Mode (500024/500029 compatible) depending on the cabling configuration.

3. The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub works in conjunction

with MuxLab’s other CCTV products including the 500000, 500009, 500015, 500022, 500023, 500024, 500029, 500120 and 500122). The passive CCTV Baluns are connected at the CCTV camera.

4. The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub works with CCTV

cameras that have built-in twisted pair baluns. It may be necessary to reverse the polarity of the wires.

Page

3.4. Physical Installation

The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub is a 1U, 19” rackmount unit. The factory default switch settings of each port is Pass-Thru Mode (500022).

1. Select the final destination for the product in the

relay rack and install the unit using standard rackmount screws.

Figure 3: Rack-mount installation

Page

3.5. Installation Procedure

The Passive CCTV/GLI Hub features BNC connectors on the video portion of the device, thereby allowing it to be connected directly to the DVR via coaxial cable. In order to install the product in this configuration, please follow the steps below:

1. Install the Passive CCTV/GLI Hub in its final

location. Please verify that the distance between the rack and cameras are within MuxLab specifications.

2. Connect a MuxLab passive CCTV/GLI Balun

(MuxLab p/n 500000, 500009, 500022, 500023, 500024 or 500029) to each CCTV camera video output. Please refer to the appropriate CCTV balun installation guide for details.

3. Connect one Cat5 cable from each camera to one of

the modular RJ45 ports on the front of the Passive CCTV/GLI Hub (fig 5). Please ensure that EIA 568 wiring and straight-through polarity is respected between the CCTV balun and the rack. The use of other Cat5 connection hardware such as patch panels and 110 blocks is supported.

Page

Port Switch Settings:

4. For each camera port, determine whether video,

power and/or control is to be transmitted via the same Cat5 cable. If only video is to be transmitted, then the Power/Control terminals and port switch may be disregarded.

5. In order to transmit video on one (1) twisted pair,

remote power on two (2) twisted pairs and control on one (1) twisted pair, set the port switch to Pass-Thru Mode (500022) using a small flathead screwdriver, as shown in fig 6. Ensure that there is a CCTV PassThru Balun (500022) at the camera.

Figure 5: Port Setting – Pass-Thru Mode (500022)

6. In order to transmit video on one (1) twisted pair and

remote power on three (3) twisted pairs, set the port switch to Power-Thru Mode (500024/500029) using a small flathead screwdriver (fig 7). Ensure that there is a CCTV Power-Thru Balun (500024 or 500029) at the camera.

Output Connections: Video:

7. Connect one coax cable between each video output

port on the rack and the DVR video input (fig 8).

Figure 7: Video connection

Remote Power:

8. If remote power is being transmitted to the camera,

verify that the distance between the camera and the hub is within MuxLab specifications. Please consult the distance charts at the back of the installation guide. When the port switch is set to Pass-Thru Mode (500022), two (2) twisted pairs are used for remote power. When the port switch is set to PowerThru Mode (500024/500029), three (3) twisted pairs are used for remote power thus supporting greater distance.

12

Page

9. Connect two (2) wires between the power terminals

of the hub to the remote low voltage power supply (fig 9). It is recommended to use a Class II power

supply with fuse protection on each output port.

Figure 9: Remote power connection

PTZ Control:

10. If PTZ Control is to be transmitted to the camera,

verify that the distance between the camera and the hub is within the distance specifications for sending PTZ control over twisted pair. Consult the PTZ equipment vendor for maximum distances. Please ensure that the port switch is set to Pass-Thru Mode (500022). When the port switch is set to Pass-Thru Mode (500022), one (1) twisted pair is used for PTZ control. For optimum results, it is recommended to use control protocols such as RS-422, RS-485 or Biphase. Due to crosstalk issues, RS-232 is not recommended.

11. Connect two (2) wires between the PTZ controller

and the “Control” terminals on the hub (fig 10).
