One side of the box connects to the MCU-200P via an Ethernet cable and the other side connects to Panasonic cameras or camcorders via a Panasonic CAM/BS cable. Users are allowed to use an Ethernet cable that runs 300 meters to connect the MCU-200P to this adapter box which in turn connects a Panasonic camera. - Page 8 This unit allows you to operate the functions of the camera up to 300m away with the MCU-200P unit.
