Overview:
Altronix HubWayLDH8/16 Active UTP Transceiver Hub transmits UTP video and RS422/RS485 data over a single CAT-5
or higher structured cable. Unit provides 8 or 16 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 3000 ft. max. per channel. Units are compatible with
fixed or PTZ cameras. An optional HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power can be used as
an accessory module to transmit video from up to 4 cameras over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable back to the
HubWayLDH8/LDH16. In addition, the HubSat4D provides power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of
voltage drop associated with long cable runs.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local codes.
