HubWayEX16/EX32 - 3 -
Overview:
Altronix HubWayEX16/EX32 Active UTP Transceiver Hub employs automatic gain control (AGC) to transmit
UTP video, RS422/RS485 data over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Units provide either 16 or 32
camera channels in a space saving 1U EIA 19” rack mount chassis which may be rack, wall or shelf mounted.
Video transmission range is up to one mile max. per channel. Units are compatible with fixed or PTZ cameras.
Each grouped camera channel provides video transmission for up to four (4) cameras over a single CAT-5 or
higher structured cable. This permits the installation of up to sixteen (16) cameras at remote locations over four
(4) CAT-5 or higher structured cables or thirty-two (32) cameras at remote locations over eight (8) CAT-5 or
higher structured cables.

Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes
and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.
1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayEX16/EX32 unit (facing front
panel) for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 1b, pg. 5).
2. Attach mounting brackets to HubWayEX16/EX32 unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8).
Affix rubber pads to HubWayEX16/EX32 for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 8).
3. Secure the unit in a rack, mount unit to a wall or place unit on a shelf as desired (unit should be spaced at
least 3” from any video monitors).
4. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 5, pg. 8).
5. Plug the grounded AC line cord into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWayEX16/EX32.
For US & Canada the plug end is a 3 prong type B plug used for standard 115VAC receptacles, as provided
with unit (Fig. 1g, pg. 5). For non North American 230VAC applications use the appropriate 3 prong plug
that matches the local standard receptacle.
6. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWayEX16/EX32 Channels 1-32 to the corresponding video inputs
on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1c, pg. 5).
7. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the one (1) or both data input
terminal blocks of the HubWayEX16/EX32 unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1f, pg. 5).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWayEX16/EX32 must be wired in parallel for proper operation.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
8. Connect one (1) end of a CAT-5 or higher structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [CH 1-4, CH 5-8,
CH 9-12, CH 13-16] of the HubWayEX16 or [CH 1-4, CH 5-8, CH 9-12, CH 13-16, CH 17-20, CH 21-24,
CH 25-28, CH 29-32] of the HubWayEX32 (Fig. 1d, pg. 5). Connect the opposite end of the CAT-5 or
higher structured cable into the corresponding RJ45 jack marked [CH 1-4, CH 5-8] HubWayEXP
(Fig. 4, pg. 7) or [VIDEO 1-4] of the HubSat4D/Di (Fig. 5, pg. 8).
9. Connect one (1) end of a CAT-5 or higher structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [DATA] of the
HubWayEX16/EX32 (Fig. 1e, pg. 5). Connect the opposite end of the CAT-5 or higher structured cable
into the RJ45 jack marked [DATA] of HubWayEXP (Fig. 4, pg. 7) or [DATA 1-4] of the HubSat4D/Di
(Fig. 5, pg. 8).
Note: When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 for cameras 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20, 21-24, 25-28, 29-32.
(refer to HubSat4D/Di or HubWayEXP installation instructions for camera hookups).
10. Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON)
position (Fig. 6, pg. 11).
11. The video signal indicator LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWayEX16/EX32 will illuminate when
video signal is present (Fig. 1a, pg. 5). If any of these LEDs are not illuminated, there is no video signal
for that corresponding channel.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of an insulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open
