How to Use Ethernet Cable

Working Environment/Temperature for Reolink Ethernet Cable

It's easy for the customer to find the camera and NVR's working environment:

IP cameras: -10°C~+55°C (14°F~131°F); Humidity: 10%~90%

POE and wifi NVR: -10°C~ + 45°C (14°F~113°F)

When you install the camera or NVR, you may also want to know the temperature range of the “ethernet cables” that came with the camera or NVR, please refer here:

Ethernet cable: -10°C~+75°C (14°F~167°F)； Rated Voltage：>63 V

How to Use it

Reolink PoE cameras can be powered over the Ethernet cable, and the Ethernet cable can transmit both data and PoE power.

You may run 1 Ethernet cable from the NVR to a PoE switch, then plug 2 cameras (up to 3 cameras) to the PoE switch.

However, please don't split 1 Ethernet cable into 2 RJ45 connectors, as 1 PoE port can't provide enough power for 2 cameras. And also, the Ethernet splitter doesn't support 2 cameras to connect to network at the same time.

For RLN8-410/RLN16-410, the power over ethernet cables for all ports is no more than 270 feet for Cat5. If you use Cat 6 or upper, the ethernet cables can be up to 330 feet.
