Javik 0 Posted October 4, 2007 I'm about to start using CAT5 as an analog power/signal carrier, and I'm trying to figure out if there are any balun wiring standards I should follow for future compatability. So far I'm not finding anything real specific. Generally a 4-pair cable would be useful for: - Power out - Video In - Audio In - Alarm In I would like some general standard to follow so that if I add more cameras in the future they can all use the same wiring. Though I get the feeling I'm going to end up taking a shot in the dark and just randomly assigning the colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kensplace 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Pick a set of colours for each, and stick to that religiously, document it so others can follow the same colours if they add to the system at a later date also. It will make life much easier in the long run if the cable colours are used consistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
