A PTZ Extension Cable is specifically designed to facilitate the installation and operation of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras by extending their connection over longer distances without loss of signal quality. This is particularly important in large-scale surveillance setups where cameras need to be placed far from their control stations or power sources.
Key Features:
-
High-Quality Transmission: Ensures that both data and power are transmitted efficiently over long distances, maintaining signal integrity and preventing voltage drops, crucial for the optimal functioning of PTZ cameras.
-
Durability: Built to withstand various environmental conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Often shielded to protect against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.
-
Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with a wide range of PTZ cameras, supporting various types of connections including RS485 for control signals, and power cables.
-
Flexibility: Available in various lengths to meet different installation needs, providing flexibility in camera placement and setup.
-
Ease of Installation: Typically easy to connect with existing wiring, often featuring plug-and-play connectors that simplify the installation process.
Technical Specifications:
-
Cable Type: Often includes composite cable elements like video (coaxial), power, and data (twisted pair) in one sheath.
-
Length Options: Ranging from a few meters to over a hundred meters, depending on the specific needs of the installation.
-
Conductor Material: Usually made of copper or a copper alloy for optimal conductivity.
-
Insulation: High-grade PVC or similar materials, providing robust protection against physical and environmental damage.
-
Connector Types: Commonly equipped with industry-standard connectors that match the input and output ports of PTZ cameras and control equipment.
