Hardware Operations: Pre-Installation Considerations

IntelliSight Camera: Cables

The following describes the various cables that are used with the IntelliSight system.

Power Supply Connection Power to the power supply must be 120/240 VAC supplied from the traffic control cabinet. Power to the power supply should be from the protected side of the cabinet. Ethernet Cables There are five (5) Ethernet ports on the IntelliSight processor. Each is an RJ45 connector that uses a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or Cat 6). IntelliSight Camera Cables IntelliSight cameras communicate with the IntelliSight processor in the traffic cabinet across a communications network. The Ethernet cables also carry power to the cameras and provide communications between the IntelliSight camera and the IntelliSight processor via the PoE switch. The cable used to connect the IntelliSight cameras to the IntelliSight processor should be a Cat5e or Cat6 outdoor-rated cable. The maximum recommended distance is 100m (300 ft) without an extender. Camera wire is terminated at both ends with RJ45 connectors. NOTE: A maximum of four (4) IntelliSight cameras can be connected to the IntelliSight processor. Use the following guidelines to install the Ethernet cable between the IntelliSight camera junction and the traffic control cabinet. The cable can be installed to the IntelliSight camera by pulling it up the pole or dropping it down the pole, whichever is more convenient.

• As the site plans direct, pull the cable through an underground conduit. The cable may also run overhead.
• To avoid moisture seeping into connections, install all Ethernet cables in a continuous run (with no extenders), where possible.
• Label each cable entering the traffic control cabinet to correspond to the IntelliSight camera to which it is connected.
• Terminate the labeled cables with RJ45 connectors according to the agency's standard practices.
