FCIC Notice
Note= Complies w&b Federal Communkations Commksion Ru/es & Reghafions Pari IS, Subparf B for a
C/ass A diMa/ device.
WARNING
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with
the specification in subpart B of pat-t 15 of the FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception,
which can be determined by turning equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
.
Reorient the receiving antenna.
.
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.
.
Relocated the equipment away from the receiver.
.
Plug the equipment into a different electrical outlet so that the equipment and receiver
are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful:
“Interference Handbook, Bulletin CIB-2”

Materials
Use only cable with a pure copper center
conductor. Do not use cable with either a copper-
plated steel or an aluminum center conductor
because these do not transfer signals effectively in
the frequency range used in CCTV networks. A
center conductor with low DC resistance is
required for effective CCTV operation.
The preferred dielectric material is cellular (foam)
polyethylene. It has better electrical characteristics
than solid polyethylene, but is more vulnerable to
moisture. Therefore, use only solid polyethylene
dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation in
applications subject to moisture. The shield must
be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage.
Cable Types
The most commonly used cable types are RG-
59/U and FIG-1 l/U. Each is a family of cables with
widely varying electrical characteristics, some of
which are not suitable for CCTV applications.
Choose a cable type by referring to the
characteristics and maximum distances listed
below. You may exceed the maximum distances
by using video amplifiers to boost the video signal.
Materials and construction must follow the
guidelines above. Note that “Bc” refers to bare
Solid-core bare copper conductor is best suited to
video applications, except where flexing occurs. If
copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.
