APPLICATIONS
You can connect the TW3008AR-4 active receiver to transmitters, such as the TW3001P passive
transceiver, TW3001AT active transmitter, and CC3710/CC3610 UTP cameras. Although you can
connect these products using an unshielded twisted pair Cat3 and Cat5 cable, Cat5e and Cat 6 are
recommended for the best video performance.
Always connect the UTP wires on the Cat cable from + to + and from – to –. For example, if you connect
the blue wire to the + on the TW3008AR-4 make sure you connect the other end of the blue wire to
the + on the transmitter.
Table A shows the maximum cable distance with Coaxitron or video only when connecting the
TW3008AR-4 to a TW3001P passive transceiver with a particular type of Cat cable.
Table B shows the minimum size for single wire and stranded wire.
