Overview
1.1.
Description
The LongReach 16 is a 16-port Active CCTV Receiver Hub that provides a centralized cabling solution for medium and large CCTV installations via copper twisted pair.
The LongReach 16 features Automatic Gain Control for picture brightness, sharpness and contrast, thereby helping to reduce on-site service calls. The
LongReach 16 supports up to 4,500 ft (1,371m) via Category 5/6 twisted pair cable when used in conjunction with MuxLab’s passive CCTV Baluns (p/n
500000, 500009, 500022 and 500023) at the camera end.
The LongReach 16 automatically adjusts the brightness, sharpness and color intensity of the video signal based on the actual cable conditions such as cable grade, distance, environmental effects on the cable, etc. Any further enhancements to the image may be made at the camera, monitor, multiplexer or DVR. The product requires a floating 24VAC, 40VA power transformer
(included) and connects directly to the DVR or CCTV multiplexer.
There are two models as shown in the photos below; The 500120 and the
500122. The 500120 features UTP on both input and output for installation in remote telecom or wiring rooms. The 500122 features UTP on the input and coax on the output for installation next to the central monitoring (DVR or multiplexer) equipment.

Pre-Installation Checklist
Warning: Do not connect power supply to video signal or ground terminals. Unit can be damaged and warranty will be void.
The LongReach 16 provides a centralized sixteen (16) port CCTV copper twisted pair cabling solution.
1. The LongReach 16 is always connected to the receiver side of a CCTV installation. For example it is connected directly to the video input ports of a DVR, CCTV multiplexer or matrix switcher at the central monitoring location.
2. The LongReach 16 is used in conjunction with MuxLab’s passive CCTV
Baluns (p/n 500000, 500009, 500022, or 500023). The passive CCTV
Baluns are connected at the CCTV source, which is usually the CCTV camera.
Please note that the LongReach 16 will also work with third party vendor baluns and CCTV cameras with built-in twisted pair baluns (balanced output). It may be necessary to reverse the polarity of the wires first.
Distance performance may vary.
3. For best image quality and operator safety, the multiplexer or DVR should be properly grounded. If this is not possible, then the LongReach 16 should be properly grounded via the ground screw on the unit. Please ensure that there is a building ground available for this purpose.
Figure 4: Ground lug
4. The LongReach 16 must be powered by a floating 24VAC, 40VA min power transformer.
5. The LongReach 16 is calibrated to work with CCTV sources that conform to RS-343 (RS-170).

Physical Installation
The LongReach 16 has three mounting options; desktop, 19” rackmount or wallmount. The product comes with two (2) mounting brackets and four (4) rubber stand-offs to allow it to be configured for either option. The product is factory set for rackmounting.
1. If the product is to be rackmounted in a relay rack, select the final destination for the product and install the unit using standard rackmount screws.
Figure 5: Rack-mount brackets
2. If the product is to be installed on a desk, then remove the rackmount brackets with a standard Philips screwdriver and store the brackets for future use. Peel the backing off the rubber standoffs and affix them to the corners underneath the base of the unit.
3. If the product is to be wallmounted, remove the rackmount brackets and install them in the wallmount position on the product as shown below.
Figure 6: Wall-mount brackets
4. Install the product on the wall using the proper mounting hardware.

Installation Procedure – UTP/UTP Version
The LongReach 16 is available in two models; UTP/UTP (500120,500121) and UTP/Coax (50022, 500123). The 500120 allows the unit to be installed in a remote wiring location away from the central monitoring equipment. The
LongReach may be installed up to 500 feet away from the DVR via Cat 5 UTP cable. In order to install the product in this configuration, please follow the steps below:
1. Install the LongReach 16 in its final location. Please verify that the distance between the hub and cameras and between the hub and DVR are within MuxLab specifications.
2. Connect a MuxLab passive CCTV Balun (MuxLab p/n 500000, 500009,
500022, 500023) to each CCTV camera video output port. Please refer to the CCTV Balun Installation Guide for details.
3. Connect one twisted pair from each camera to one port on the rear of the
LongReach 16. Please ensure that straight-through polarity is respected between the CCTV balun and the hub. Multipair cables are supported as long as they are Category 5 or better.
Figure 7: Camera connection
4. Ensure that the power is turned off on DVR or mux. Install a MuxLab passive CCTV balun on each port of the DVR. The 500009 is recommended for this purpose.
5. Connect one twisted pair from each LongReach 16 port to each balun on the rear of the DVR. Please ensure that straight-through polarity is respected between the LongReach 16 and the DVR. Multipair cables are supported as long as they are Category 5 or better.

6. Connect the floating 24VAC power transformer first to the hub and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, then the green power LED will be ON.
7. Power on the CCTV cameras and DVR. When a video signal is detected, the green LED on each hub port will be ON.
8. Due to the Automatic Gain Control of the LongReach 16, the camera images may take a few seconds to stabilize. This is normal. The
LongReach 16 automatically adjusts the brightness, sharpness and color to compensate for effects due to the cabling conditions. Use the adjustments on the CCTV camera, DVR or monitor to fine tune the final picture.
9. If there is visible low frequency background noise (wood grain pattern) in the picture, connect the ground lug of the LongReach 16 to a true building ground.
10. The following diagram shows the final configuration.

Installation Procedure – UTP/Coax Version
The LongReach 16 is available in a UTP/Coax version (500122, 500123) where the hub is located near the central monitoring system (DVR). In order to install the product in this configuration, please follow the steps below:
1. Perform steps 1 to 3 listed in the previous section.
2. Ensure that the power is turned off on DVR or mux.
3. Connect one coax cable from each LongReach 16 port to each video input port on the rear of the DVR.

Check if the UTP pairs are correct
(not split)
Check DC loop resistance and verify if distance spec is exceeded
Reduce cable length or eliminate high-loss components
Replace cable by higher grade
Connect ground of Active Balun to true building ground
Picture contains low frequency background noise (wood grain pattern)
Image occasionally fading, synchronization not perfect
