2.7 Network and Power Connection

2.7.1 Notes on Cable Lengths and Power Supply

• Power may only be supplied to the camera via its Ethernet connector. We recommend
using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or other similar high-quality PoE product to loop-in the
power supply:
– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE)
– Multiple cameras: with PoE products conforming to IEEE 802.3af (PoE switch)
• The maximum length of the network cable for power supply over an Ethernet cable
is 100 m.
• Make sure that you only use switches or routers that support the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
interface of the camera. Check the LED activity of the corresponding port at the switch
or router.
• We highly recommend using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide backup
power.
• If you are using IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at ("PoE+") Power-over-Ethernet network
components to supply power to your MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that
these components do not have a fan. As the power consumption of MOBOTIX cameras
is very low compared to other products, the reliability of the entire system is increased,
thus extending the life of the components.

2.7.2 Power Supply with Power-Over-Ethernet Products

Connect the factory pre-installed cable of the camera to the Ethernet connector of the PoE
switch/router. The switch/router must support the IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at ("PoE+")
PoE standard as a minimum.
