Frequently Asked Questions

Why use fiber optic cables for IP CCTV in hazardous areas?

Fiber optic cables offer unmatched performance over copper systems, covering greater distances (up to 25km+) without signal degradation. They are also immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them ideal for large oil & gas or chemical plants.

What components are needed for a fiber optic CCTV system?

A typical fiber optic BOM includes: IP Explosion-proof Cameras with SFP module slots, Single-mode/Multi-mode Fiber-optic cables, SFP transceivers (SC/APC connectors), Fiber patch panels, and NVRs located in the safe area control room.

What is the maximum transmission distance for fiber optic CCTV?

Using single-mode fiber optic cables and appropriate SFP modules, IP CCTV systems can transmit high-definition video up to 25 kilometers or more without the need for signal repeaters, ensuring zero latency and no data loss.
