Fibre Installers

[breff]

Anyone know anyone who can install some fibre links for some IP cameras? We cannot use conventional cameras and the distance is 130 metres to the building from the pole, so cat5 is out.

The job is in Bromley, Kent (SE London ish)

hi breff,

130 meters is no probs for the signal over CAT5e, should be ok for 200 meters on passive baluns and 350meters+ on powered baluns.

you can buy fibre pre terminated from Auriga and others made to the required lengths, so if you have a bit too much you can coil it without any ill effects (unlike coax).

Its for an IP camera Arfur, the 100m rule applies to Cat5.

Thanks for the info ESP, I'll pass it on

They will be sony IP cameras, the system is already running sony realshot manager software on dell poweredge servers(3)

I know this maybe a long way round this but is this going to be a fixed camera or not?

Reason I ask is was wondering if you could fix the camera, run it back co-ax or baluns on cat5e, then use a co-ax to IP converter, it is just a thought might work out cheaper than running it from cat5e to fibre to cat5e.

I've thought of that, only problem is that the monitoring company use the sony software I believe.

yes, but you can run conventional and use an ip tx box at the 'home' end

so is that thinking inside or outside of the 'box'
