RC8-CQC™ Installation Instructions
Supporting the Cisco Quad Camera and
Cisco SX80, Plus & Pro Codecs
TEST YOUR SCTLink™ CABLE
We highly recommend using an Ethernet Network Tester/Analyzer alongside our provided PowerSniffer to confirm your
SCTLink™
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 SCTLink™ cable for UTP 568A/568B. This cable must be between 30ft - 300ft.
The SCTLink™ 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 SCTLink™ cable.
3. Connect the other end of the SCTLink™ 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 SCTLink™ cable has been tested, please disconnect the WPS-48 power supply from the RC8-HE module,
and the PowerSniffer from the SCTLink™ cable, before proceeding to install.
