16 Channel Passive Video UTP Transceiver Hub

Installation Instructions

General
This manual is a guide to the installation and operation of the VID-HUB-16P model VIDIPAC UTP.
Please read the entire manual before installing.

Brief description
VID-HUB-16P model is a 16-channel passive transceiver hub with RJ45 and Terminal block UTP cable connection. This passive
hub has built-in transient protection and excellent anti-interference ability. VID-HUB-16P Passive Hub allows upto 16 CCTV
video signals to be transmitted via cost-effective Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. Used with passive transceivers, the UTP
CCTV passive transceiver hub can connect the CCTV security and surveillance equipments using standard structured cabling
techniques for neater and more streamlined cabling instead of costly and bulky coaxial cable.
VID-HUB-16P also works in conjunction with other VIDIPAC passive transceivers and passive hubs.

Caution
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wires must be used. Note: Shielded twisted pair wires cause impedance mismatch
Make sure there are no untwisted wires as it may result in distorted image and interference.
Each video signal must use the same twisted pair.
Make sure there are no extra branch (or star connection) of twisted pair as it results in ghost image. Always connect the
transceivers with point-to-point Unshielded Twisted Pair wires.
Coaxial cable length between the video equipment and the passive UTP transceiver balun must not exceed 1.8m.
Transceiver installation
Connect the VID-HUB-16P passive transceivers hub as close as possible through the coaxial cable to the video equipments
(Camera, monitors, VCRs, DVRs, etc.)
VID-HUB-16P passive transceiver hub has RJ45 and terminal block marked + and - for 4-video signals.
Use a pair of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wires to connect single video signal.
Make sure the + of one transceiver is connected to the + of another transceiver and vice versa for the - terminal.
There are 4 sets of RJ45 and terminal block connectors for 16-video channels.
Video Indicator LEDs - Optional function
Rating: 12Vdc 200mA. This passive hub has optional video present indicator LEDs. If this function is required then connect
a 12Vdc PSU (500mA or larger ok) to the 12Vdc input on rear of hub. Centre is Positive and outer is Negative. LED ON =
Video Present. Note that this passive hub is not supplied with a PSU. Whether this function is used or not does not affect the
operation of this passive hub.
