Can some body please advise which colours are applicable for this application. Cheers Jacka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgb 0 Posted August 27, 2014 Are you using cameras with mic inputs or are you running mics back to nvr for a different application? If you're running them back through spare pairs on the cat6 then on the cat6, you can use the blue,blue/white and brown, brown/white This is as long as you are not using gigabit LAN.

Use a Poe switch Not exactly Depending what "mode" the poe is set up Mode A no Mode B yes Both are defined by 802.11af The power source device would determine which pairs (or mode) is used I would say that if pins 4578 are not connected that the switch would use mode A, unless the device calls for more wattage. I will also say that an install where you are breaking up pairs in an Ethernet cable is a very sloppy install and will create more problems down the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
