we have tested this on cameras over at 300m run and it worked perfectly !
Connector type:
RJ45 8 pin connector
Need to use an RJ45 Crimping tool
USES of Outdoor CAT5 Cable
For a wide range of purposes when it is necessary to run CAT5 outdoors e.g.:
Wireless broadband antenna being run to a router
Connecting a second building to a LAN network
Running cables to outdoor IP Cameras
ADVANTAGES of Outdoor CAT5 Cable
Comes with a protective PE Sheath which is resistant to water and UV rays
Ideal for outdoor use
Can be used over very long runs
Ideal for almost all outdoor applications
DISADVANTAGES of Outdoor CAT5 Cable
On applications that require power (e.g. Motorised camera system) and have very long cable runs it is better to use the professional Outdoor CAT5 as it has limited power carrying capacity
Below is documented the correct wiring format for a CAT5 Cable and detailed instruction for making a CAT5 Cable.
WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR A CAT5 CABLE
Notes
The diagram above is called a CAT5 Type B wiring method which is the one that is almost exclusively used in industry.
TO MAKE A CAT5 CABLE
Equipment needed
Roll of CAT5 Cable
RJ45 CRIMPING Tool
RJ45 Connectors * 2
Steps
Using a crimping tool remove the outer protective sleeve leaving around 25mm of cable exposed
Next untwist each of the pairs of cables
Line up the wires in accordance with the wiring diagram above
Again using the crimping tool cut the cable leaving about 12-15mm of cable exposed.
Push the cables into the RJ45 Plug
Use the crimping tool to crimp the RJ45 Connector on the the cable
Cut the CAT5 cable to the required lenght
Repeat the process to put a connector on the far end
NOTES ON CAT5 WIRING
1. 568-A wring
There is an alternate wiring convention for CAT5 cables called 568-A. See diagram below:
The most common use of this convention would be use a Type A & and a Type B connector to make a cross over cable.
2. Types of CAT5 Cable
The most commonly used cat5 cable is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. This is suitable for homes and offices
A more expensive option is to use FTP (Foil shielded Twisted Pair) cable
Which gives greater interference protection when running next to power cables
Notes on Connectors
The RJ stands for 'Registered Jack'
The RJ11 comes with 4 pin slots
Only the 2 middle pins are needed
It is used for dial up internet or voice but not broadband
It is used with telephone cables
If the RJ connector has copper pins in all 4 slots it is actually an RJ14 but can be used as if it was an RJ11
