      @NattNatt No worries there, just string cat6 through a couple windows, give it a tug to get the droop out 😉

      That works with fibre too right? 😉

        That is just a silly thing to say. PoE and PoE+ require, per the IEEE standard, category 5, but is still allowed to be ran on category 3 for lower wattage workloads.

        I haven't installed many PoE+ cameras and have only had those running less than a year. Do you have a number of PoE+ cameras running on CAT5? Longer runs? I'm wondering why the camera company I was dealing made such a big deal about 23 guage CAT6 for their cameras. Maybe because it had a heater?

          Possibly. What is the wattage draw on the unit?

            You mean a heater as in a heating unit? I guess? A quality cat5e cable will tolerate temperatures from -4 to 167 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind I run a lot of cabling for my company but I am by no means a cabling guru. Maybe they know something I don't. shrug

              He means a heater in the camera enclosure.

                Whats the point in that? I'm guessing reduce fog/ice etc?

                      NTG has managed Axis cameras in harsh conditions for UofR in Upstate NY, in fact.

                        That camera is rated at pulling the full 25.5 watts. that is excessive. It you are going to be pulling that kind of power, you need to be certain of your connectors and wiring.

                          WELP. I took a chance boys.

                          I don't have to typically deal with harsh winters even though we were hit with a sizable blizzard this year in NJ.
