Network and Power Connection
• Power is supplied to the camera via the camera Ethernet connection (patch or instal-
lation cable). We recommend using a MOBOTIX PoE adapter or another similar
high-quality PoE product to loop-in the power supply:
– One camera: with the PoE adapter (MX-NPA-PoE or MX-NPA-Box)
– 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
network interface of the camera.
• 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 MOBOTIX cameras, make sure, if possible, that
these components do not have a fan. Since 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 these components.
Appliances with a maximum total power consumption of four watts may be con-
nected to the MxBus connector and USB connector
camera using PoE class 3
the connected appliances should not exceed one watt!
For information on changing the PoE class, see Section 2.7.5, «Variable PoE» .
2.7.1 Network Cabling for M15 with Patch Cables
Using a patch cable and an MX-Patch-Box or MX-NPA-Box offers the following advantages:
• Quick installation/deinstallation
• No shortening of the cable in the event of multiple installation/removal
• Hose-proof/dust-proof connection in accordance with IP66
