Multi-Channel VPD Combiner
Receiver Installation Sheet
Introduction
GE Security Multi-Channel Video Power Data Combiner Receivers combine video,
PTZ data, and camera power over a single 4-pair UTP cable to simplify CCTV
installations in a structured wiring environment. They support up to 16 cameras
and should be installed in the control room.
The GEC-4VDPBC and GEC-16VDPBC need to be used along with external class II
power supplies. The GEC-8PVPDTCHUB and GEC-16PVPDTCHUB come with built-
in 8 and 16 channel fully isolated class II 24/28 VAC power supplies. Each camera
power output in addition to an auto-reset fuse is equipped with a 2 A glass fuse
that is easily accessible from the front panel.
At the camera end a video balun/combiner provides video, power and data on
separate outputs. The video connections are through BNC connectors to the DVR
or matrix switches. The data connections to the DVR are through RJ-45
connectors. There is a separate data connection for each camera. All equipment
follows industry-standard EIA/TIA 568B pin-outs.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read these instructions. 2) Keep these instructions. 3) Heed all warnings. 4) Follow all instructions. 5) Do not use this apparatus near water. 6) Clean only with a dry cloth. 7) Do not block any ventilation openings. 8) Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Page 3 We recommend using short 18 AWG solid wires for ground connections. • GE VPD products follow the EIA/TIA 568 standard. There are two wire color- code standards: EIA/TIA 568A and EIA/TIA 568B. Either standard can be used for making connections as long as the RJ-45 jacks at both ends of each cable follow the same standard.
  • Page 4: Important Safety Warnings

    To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose these products to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. • No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on GE equipment. • DO NOT block ventilation openings to let sufficient airflow to the UTP devices.
