Network Cables: Connectivity Options ππ
Network
cables
serve a pivotal role in both analog
and IP CCTV systems. Among the most commonly used network cables is the twisted pair, falling
under the category of RJ45
or CAT 6/ CAT 5 cables. These cables efficiently transmit both power and data. However, it's
crucial to note that the recommended
transmission distance for RJ45 cameras is 100 meters, even though
theoretical limits may extend
to 150 meters. To ensure optimal quality, sticking to the 100-meter
guideline is advisable.
