UTP Encoder/Decoder Set
NM-UTPSET
The NetMedia UTP Video Encoder and Decoder modules allow popular 12V DC cameras to use Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cable, such as CAT5, for both power and video. There is no need to run multiple cables to the camera location! The
modules support cable distances up to 1000 feet. To view the video, use a security monitor or the composite RCA Video
Input jack of a television.
Product Includes:
1. NetMedia UTP Video Encoder module.
2. NetMedia UTP Video Decoder module.
3. 24V DC 200mA Power Transformer.
3. Power Extension Cable and two RCA Video Cables.

Installation Procedures:
1. Connect a UTP cable (CAT5 or better) to the UTP jacks of the Video Encoder and Decoder. Each Encoder/Decoder pair
needs a dedicated point-to-point wiring circuit. If attaching your own plugs, wire them for straight-through connections: pin1 to pin1, pin2 to pin2; pin3 to pin3, etc. For standardization, you should also follow the T-568A color specification but it will not affect the modules’ function. Do not connect the UTP cable to computer networks or other
UTP video systems! Doing so could damage this product and/or the other attached devices!
2. Connect a video cable from the camera to the Encoder’s RCA Video In jack. Simple adapters, such as RCA to BNC, may
be used where appropriate.
3. Connect the Power Extension Cable from the Encoder’s Power Output Connector to the camera’s 12V DC power input.
If the camera requires more than 150mA or if it does not use 12V DC then it cannot use the Encoder’s power output.
4. Connect a video cable from the viewing device (monitor, Quad, DVR, modulator, etc.) to the Decoder’s RCA Video Out
jack using appropriate adapters where necessary.
5. Connect the 24V DC 200mA Power Transformer from an AC outlet to the Decoder’s Power Input Connector.
