Twisted Sender is recommended for use with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The systems will operate over wire
gauges from 26 AWG through 12 AWG but are optimized for 24
AWG. Category cabling may be used. Individually shielded
pairs should be avoided as they drastically reduce the operating
range of the systems. Multi-pair cable with an overall
shield is acceptable. Video can be operated in the same
communication cable coexistent with telephone, computer,
control signals, power voltages and other video signals. While
video may be routed through telephone punch down block
terminals, any bridge-taps, also called T-taps and any resistive,
capacitive or inductive devices MUST BE removed from
the pair.

gauges and proper installation techniques, please call 800-

available on the CCTV System Design Guide Sheet.
