4. Operating Principles

This copper cable serves as the vital conduit for transmitting video and audio signals within your door intercom system. Its 6-core design allows for dedicated pathways for various signals, ensuring clear and stable communication. Once properly connected, the cable facilitates:

• Video Signal Transmission: Carries the video feed from the outdoor camera unit to the indoor monitor.
• Audio Signal Transmission: Transmits two-way audio for conversation between the indoor and outdoor units.
• Power Supply: May carry low-voltage power to components, depending on your intercom system's design.
• Control Signals: Facilitates control signals for functions such as door unlocking.

5. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your copper cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks.
• Cleanliness: Keep the cable and its connectors free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid Stress: Do not pull, twist, or bend the cable excessively, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the internal wires.
• Environmental Protection: If the cable is installed outdoors, ensure it is protected from direct exposure to extreme weather conditions, prolonged sunlight, or pests that could chew on it.
• Secure Connections: Ensure that the connectors remain firmly seated in their respective ports. Loose connections can lead to signal degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your video door intercom system, consider the following troubleshooting steps related to the cable:

• No Video/Audio:
  • Check if the cable connectors are securely plugged into both the intercom unit and the camera system.
  • Ensure that the power to the entire system is on.
  • Inspect the cable for any visible damage (cuts, severe kinks). A damaged cable may need replacement.
• Poor Video/Audio Quality (Fuzzy, Static, Intermittent):
  • Cable Length and Thickness: The length and thickness (diameter) of the cable significantly affect the quality of transmitted image and sound. Refer to the recommended guidelines below:

    Length	Recommended Diameter
    0-30 m	0.3 mm²
    30-50 m	0.5 mm²
    50-80 m	0.8 mm²
    80-100 m	1.0 mm²

    Note: Using a cable with insufficient diameter for its length can lead to signal loss and degraded performance.

  • Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources near the cable.
  • Check for any loose or corroded connections at the cable ends.
• Cable Damage: If the cable insulation is compromised or wires are exposed, replace the cable immediately to prevent short circuits or electrical hazards. Utilize the provided spare connectors if only a connector is damaged.
