3 System overview
60 W Midspan
The 60 W midspan enables remote High Power over Ethernet
(High PoE) for various Bosch IP/HD PTZ cameras. Generating a
maximum of 60 W, it complies to both the IEEE 802.3af and the
IEEE 802.3at standards, while doubling the available power.
This model of midspan is necessary to supply power to the
heater for an outdoor AUTODOME 7000 camera.
It can also supply power to:
– standard models of MIC7000
– models of MIC IP starlight 7000i without an illuminator
accessory
– models in the AUTODOME 4000 and 5000 product families
The 95 W midspan is a high-power PoH (Power Over HDBase T)
device that provides data and power between an Ethernet
switch and an IP camera.
This model of midspan can supply power to all models of
MIC7000, MIC IP starlight 7000i, and MIC IP fusion 9000i.
95 W Outdoor midspan
This model is designed for outdoor use and can supply power to
AUTODOME 7000 and MIC IP cameras with or without
illuminators. This model is required for High PoE power for MIC
IP cameras with illuminators.

4 Installation (Indoor models)
!
Caution!
Installation must be made by qualified personnel and conform
to ANSI/NFPA 70 (the National Electrical Code® (NEC)),
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (also called CE Code or CSA
C22.1), and all applicable local codes. Bosch Security Systems
accepts no liability for any damages or losses caused by
incorrect or improper installation.
!
Warning!
FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
Notes
Note: Do NOT use cross-over cable between the Data & Power
Out port and the camera!
Note: The midspan is not a repeater and does not amplify the
Ethernet data signal.
Note: The total length of Cat5e/Cat6 Shielded Twisted Pair
(STP) cable must be less than 100 m (328 ft) between the
camera and the head-end system.
Before mounting the midspan to a fixed location, note the
following:
– Do not cover the midspan or block the airflow to the PoE
with any foreign objects.
– Keep the midspan away from excessive heat and humidity
and free from vibration and dust.
– Ensure that the cable length from the Ethernet network
source to the terminal does not exceed 100meters (333
feet). The midspan is not a repeater and does not amplify
the Ethernet data signal.
– No “on-off” switch exists; simply plug the midspan into an
AC power source.

2020-11 | 1.0 | Bosch Security Systems
Place the midspan on a desktop, or mount it to a wall, a bench,
or a shelf using the mounting holes in the bottom of the device.
Mount the Unit Directly to a Flat Surface
1. Select the mounting location and surface. Ensure that the
selected surface will be able to support the weight of the
unit (400 g (0.88 lb) for 95 W models; 340 g (0.75 lb) for 60
W models). Note that this unit is intended only for
installation in a Restricted Access Location.
2. Install two mounting screws (user-supplied) in the selected
mounting surface, at the appropriate distance apart from
the center of each screw (9.17 cm / 91.7 mm (3.61 in.) for
95 W models).
3. Align the mounting holes on the unit to the screws.
4. Slide the unit into place.
Stack One Unit on Top or on the Side of Another Unit (95 W
models only)
Slide the rail on the right side (when facing the ports) of one
unit to the left side (when facing the ports) of a second unit.
