    Full text manual (for reference)

    Full product specifications for the Speco VIDCAT2 β€” a passive power-and-video-over-CAT-5E transceiver for sending analog camera video and power over a single Cat-5E cable.

    Overview

    The VIDCAT2 sends video and power over a single CAT-5E UTP cable, using a 6-pin terminal connector for easy connections. It supports color video signals up to 300 meters and black & white video up to 600 meters. A power supply is required but not included; the power cable pairing (1, 2, or 3 pairs) is chosen based on the camera's power consumption and transmission range.

    Key Features

    • Send video & power over one CAT-5E UTP cable (add your own power supply β€” not included)
    • 6-pin terminal connector for easy connections
    • Sends color video signals up to 300 meters; B/W up to 600 meters
    • Power cable can be 1, 2, or 3 pairs based on camera power consumption and transmission range
