GE Security Introduction What is UTP? UTP (Unbalanced Twisted Pair) is a new way of transmitting CCTC signal on ordinary low-cost CAT 5 type data cables using low-cost Baluns (Balance Unbalance) Why UTP? Most new commercial (and even residential) building developments are installing CAT 5 data ‘’backbones’’ as standard for building management systems. These can be integrated TCP/IP or standard protocols (Eg: Lon. Works). If there is spare unused cabling UTP CCTV can use existing installations. Cat 5 cable is significantly cheaper than traditional RG 59 and can fit far more conductors into a smaller space. This can be an advantage when duct/riser space is limited, particularly in older buildings. 2 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Benefits of UTP Immunity to noise Long distances (Over 1 km) Easy wire installation Multiple video signals in the same bundle RS-422/RS-485 in the same bundle 12 VDC/24 VAC in the same bundle Lower cabling costs Space saving 3 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Noise Immunity Benefits Better interference immunity from: Neighboring cables/pairs Fluorescent lights Industrial Transformers and Motors Radio Transmitters 4 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Noise Immunity Better interference immunity because of the ‘’twist’’ in a twisted pair cable: 5 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Why UTP? Take advantage of: Structured Building Wiring The telecom industry has developed a GREAT system employing: High density cables Colour coded Mass termination Super low cost 6 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Where to use UTP? Locations where overall cost is less: Within or Between Bldgs Old/Listed buildings Elevators Hospitals Prisons Casinos Schools Office Developments Shopping Malls 7 GE Security Presenter Name Date Hotels/Resorts Warehouses Amusement Parks Apartment Complexes Parking Garages Mass Transit Systems Entry Gates Traffic Control

GE Security Comparisons Coax Fiber Ethernet / IP Based Transmission 8 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Comparisons: vs Coax UTP vs. Coax 100 cables RG-59 Coax 1, 100 pairs Category 3 UTP 9 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Comparisons: vs coax Smaller conductors More dense More flexible Colour coded Superior interference immunity 10 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Comparisons: vs coax Surge suppression (built-in) Active units w/built-in ground lifting Active units w/built-in gain control Long distances (up to 1. 2 Km) Low wire costs (sometimes it’s free!) Use coax for short runs, under 100 meters 11 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Comparisons: vs Fiber Less complexity and special skills needed for installation Lower cable cost Similar features with lower Tx/Rx cost No power required (many cases) No minimum bend radius issues Lower cost termination tools & test equipment No d. B loss calculations 12 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Comparisons: Ethernet Much longer distance (100 meter TCP/IP limit between camera and hub) No limited bandwidth issues specified by IT managers No “frame rate” comparison (all images are Real Time) Analogue vs Digital No picture degradation due to compression artifacts Put the IP requirement at the head-end, not at the cameras 13 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security UTP Limitations Base-band only (not for CATV) Active units do not support“ up-the-coax” P/T/Z controls Not “broadcast” quality (>800 lines) Distance limited to 1200 meters, point-to-point Remember! Do NOT use SHIELDED wire Do NOT use UN-TWISTED wire 14 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Wire Types Bad Shielded wire: Don’t use Quad wire: Don’t use, Not Twisted! Red Green Yellow Black Category 1 & 2 - Voice grade OK for some transceivers Category 3 – Telephone/Voice/data grade OK for most transceivers Category 5+ - High speed 15 GE Security Presenter Name Date Bad OK (300 M max) Excellent

GE Security Passive Equipment: Passive up to 400 meters Supports “up-the-coax” P/T/Z controls Built-in surge suppression All units are transceivers so can be deployed at either end Multi Standard NTSC, PAL, SECAM 16 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Active Equipment: Up to 1200 meters (colour). Longer with Mono Does not support “up-the-coax” P/T/Z controls Use RS-422 or RS-485 if going longer or large camera count Built-in ground lifting and gain control Surge suppression for outdoor applications Multi Standard NTSC, PAL, SECAM 17 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Basic product type: There are two basic types of UTP transceivers : Passive and Active These can be used in one of the following three ways depending on distance and type of cable used Passive 18 GE Security Presenter Name Date Active

GE Security Passive to Passive (400 M Cat 5) Passive is the simplest type of UTP Balun It does not need an external power source, but does have distance limitations Passive Tx/Rx are always transceivers, so units can be used at either end of the system 19 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Passive to Active (800 M Cat 5) Passive to Active has the advantage of extended range (800 M), plus it does not need external power down at the camera end The Active receivers can be individually specified and powered or utilise rack mount hubs for easy installation 20 GE Security Presenter Name Date

GE Security Active to Active (1. 2 km Cat 5) Active to Active has the advantage of of super extended range (1200 M), Active receivers offer extra noise immunity and surge protection Active transmitters and receivers need 12 Vdc at camera and receiver ends to operate Active transmitters have 3 position gain switch (L, M, H) and active receivers have a 5 position gain switch depending on cable length used. First set the 5 position DIP switch on the receiver depending on cable length deployed Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Position 4 Position 5 = = = Meters (Cat 5) 0 -200 200 -500 500 -800 800 -1100 -1500 Then, if necessary set the Transmitter gain to Low, Medium or High to achieve a 1 volt Pk to Pk video signal 21 GE Security Presenter Name Date
