Max length of Coaxial cable connect to active TP converter

Recommended Posts

What is the max length of coaxial cable that we can connect to active TP Transimitter? As the camera location to Active TP location is about 300m away....

Seeing that no one else has responded, I am guessing that I am not the only one who did not understand the question as worded. Can you clarify?

If you mean Active UTP it will depend on the brand of TX and RX ..

 

with NVT .. also this uses UTP (cat3/5) cable not Coax.

 

Cat3 with Amplified on one end, passive on one end = 3000'

Cat3 with Amplified on both ends = 1 mile

Cat5 with Amplified on one end, passive on one end = 1 mile

Cat5 with amplified on both ends = 1.5 miles

Ok well first make sure that RG6 is Copper and not aluminum .. in other words not Cable TV type..

 

300 meters .. thats around 1000' .. RG59 can do more than that like 1200-1500' ... so you should be okay. Its when it goes to the DVR that they mention you should limit it to 750' ... but that "Active TP Transmitter" would have to be an Transceiver (RX & TX).

 

Any particular brand you are using? And is that UTP? (Cat2, Cat3, Cat5 or Twisted Pair)
