RC8-CQC™ Installation Instructions
Supporting the Cisco Quad Camera and
Cisco SX80, Plus & Pro Codecs
TEST YOUR SCTLink™ CABLE
We highly recommend using an Ethernet Network Tester/Analyzer alongside our provided PowerSniffer to confirm your
SCTLink™
wiring. Our PowerSniffer only tests conductor continuity and will not identify data integrity or capacity issues.
1. Test and verify your CAT6 STP SCTLink™ cable for T568A or T568B.
The SCTLink™ cable must be between 10m (minimum) and 100m (maximum) length.
2. Connect one end of the SCTLink™ cable to the “SCTLink™” connection on the Head End module.
3. Connect the other end of your SCTLink™ cable to the provided PowerSniffer.
4. Connect the WPS-48 power supply to the Head End module.
5. Connect the WPS-48 power supply to AC mains.
6. If the SCTLink™ cable is properly terminated, it will display eight GREEN LEDs.
If you get any other result,
stop and re-terminate cable.
7. Once your SCTLink™ cable has been tested, please disconnect the WPS-48 power supply from the RC8-HE module,
and the PowerSniffer from the SCTLink™ cable, before proceeding to install.
INSTALL THE EXTENSION KIT
Connect the camera-end cables:
1. Connect the RCC-C014 HDMI cables between the Quad
Camera’s HDMI 1 & 2 connectors (angled end) and the
