RC8-CQC Installation Instructions
Supporting the Cisco Quad Camera and
Cisco SX80, Plus & Pro Codecs
TEST YOUR LINK CABLE
We highly recommend using an Ethernet Network Tester/Analyzer alongside our provided PowerSniffer to confirm your LINK
cable’s wiring. Our PowerSniffer only tests conductor continuity and will not identify data integrity or capacity issues.
1. Test and verify your CAT6 STP or FUTP LINK cable for UTP 568A/568B. Link cable must be between 30ft - 300ft.
The LINK cable between the RC8-CE module (transmitter) & RC8-HE module (receiver)
must always
be a single, point-to-point CAT cable with no couplers or interconnections.
2. Connect the provided PowerSniffer to the Quad Camera end of your CAT6 STP or FUTP LINK cable.
3. Connect the other end of the LINK cable to the blue “SCTLink™” connection on the Head End module.
4. Connect the WPS-48 power supply to the Head End module.
5. Connect the WPS-48 power supply to AC mains.
6. If the “SCTLink™” cable is properly terminated, it will display eight GREEN LEDs.
If you get any other result,
stop and re-terminate cable
.
7. Once your cable has been tested, please disconnect the WPS-48 power supply from the RC8-HE module,
and the PowerSniffer from the LINK cable, before proceeding to install.
