Our security installer uses coax to Ethernet converters for elevator IP cams because there aren't usually Cat cables in the traveler cable bundle. We had some solid-core installed along the traveler in a new building in 2010 and it failed within a year due to the constant flexing. Though I'm sure something must have been engineered by now to fit the bill.
I'd be curious to know if anyone has a spec for a traveler cable with Cat5 or better built in. -- Jason Watts Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 18, 2015, at 11:35 AM, Chris Adams (IT) <chris.ad...@ung.edu> wrote: > > I have seen POE IP Cameras in (newer) elevators – I’m sure additional > ethernet drops could be included at the time of installation.
