Fibre-optic video connection box · AK(S)54-8P-XX
Up to eight IP cameras over a single fibre. Assembled, wired and tested — before the box leaves the works.
Five components — tap one to read about it.
Magnetic contact on the lid frame
The lid closes onto the all-round seal with a swing handle or a quarter-turn lock, both with 2-point locking. The magnetic contact switch reports every opening to the control room via a volt-free contact — wired to double-level terminals and tested at the works, not a retrofit kit.
Secondary 24 or 48 V · 120, 240 or 480 W
The power supply delivers 24 or 48 V on the secondary side, at 120, 240 or 480 W — to suit the number and class of the cameras. A fuse terminal can protect the secondary side on request.
Industrial PoE switch up to 10 ports · 8 cameras
The rails take an industrial PoE switch with up to ten ports, such as the barox RY-LPITE-802GBTME. It is not included in the delivery; there is room for any unit up to 200 × 250 × 165 mm. Eight M25 glands with a split inner seal for RJ45 lead outwards, one per camera.
Splice cassette for 12 fibres · M20 entry
The link to the control centre runs over optical fibre: immune to interference, electrically isolated and good for kilometres without amplification. The splice cassette, with a splice comb for twelve fibres, sits in its holder against the right-hand inner wall — separate from the active equipment and individually accessible for servicing. The fibre comes in through an M20 gland of its own; two more M20 glands stay as spares.
Surge protector, two-pole
Lightning and switching surges stop at the surge protector, not at the camera. Two-pole for single-phase TN systems, fitted as standard together with an RCBO and a service socket. Up to eight Ethernet surge arresters for the camera lines are optional.
There is a choice of a swing handle, prepared for a half-profile cylinder, or a quarter-turn lock with double-bit operation — both pull the lid against the all-round seal with 2-point locking. That carries IP 66 and IK 10. A magnetic contact in the lid frame reports every opening to the control centre via a volt-free contact: unauthorised access does not go unnoticed.
Enclosure in polycarbonate, halogen-free and UV-stable, in RAL 7035 (custom paint finish possible), or in stainless steel V2A / V4A. Inside, a galvanised steel mounting plate with DIN rails and wiring ducts. Temperature range −40 to +80 °C.
The mains input lands on 4-conductor terminals with a double connection: 2 × L, 2 × N, 2 × PE. The power supply delivers 24 or 48 V on the secondary side, at 120, 240 or 480 W — depending on the number and power class of the cameras.
Fitted as standard: an RCBO B16 with 30 mA tripping current, a B10 circuit breaker and a two-pole surge protector. Everything sits on the rail in a fixed position — what is fitted is stated in the test report.
A SCHUKO service socket inside the enclosure as standard: a laptop, a test instrument or a soldering iron for the splicing work all run off the mains on site, without a second supply having to be brought to the location.
Installation location
Outdoors on a wall or pole, up to 300 mm diameter.
