GigE interface
The 10 GigE connectors permit to use (direct attach) copper cables with lengths of up to 30 m (10BASE-T). A cable with the minimum specification of CAT6a must be used.
Network adapter
To establish a 10 GigE connection a network adapter with a 10 GigE RJ45 input must be installed and configured on the PC. The installation of the network adapter is explained in the GCT documentation. For more information, see Installation GigE.
For more information about the tested network adapters and the transceivers, see Tested Network adapters and Transceivers.

 |  WARNING |
| Electric shock due to improper connection to a power supply. | |
| Use a 12 V – 24 V DC power supply. When using the digital I/O port as a power supply ensure the correct polarity. |
Connect the video output port.
Connect the digital I/O port.
Option 1: Power over Ethernet (PoE)
1. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Power/PoE port (PoEOUT) of the PoE injector and into the video output port (RJ45) of your camera.
2. Connect another Ethernet cable to the Ethernet/data (DataIN) port of the injector and your network card.
Option 2: Power supply of the digital I/O port
To set up the wiring refer to section Digital I/O port.
Note the permitted input voltages:
| Nominal | Minimum | Maximum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permitted voltages | 24 V | 12 V | 28 V |
CXP interface
The interface allows you to connect two CXP cables. Micro BNC (for CXP12) connectors for the camera and suitable connectors for the frame grabber are required. The maximum cable length is 35 m.
Frame grabber
To establish a CXP connection a frame grabber must be installed and configured on the PC. Refer to the manual of your frame grabber.
For more information about the tested frame grabbers, see Tested frame grabbers.

Digital I/O port
The following connector is required for the digital I/O port:
- 15 pin HD D-Sub (female)
Pin allocation D-Sub connector (male) of the cameraYou can configure the digital I/O port as RS422 or as single-ended input or output. It is also possible to configure one output as RS422 and the other output as single-ended.
