Power Patch : RCU2S : RJ11 to 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC Plu

PPC power cables — short DC patch cables that feed the camera from a Sound Control Technologies (SCT) kit module. The range is named "Camera Power Cables" and the individual types differ purely in their connector combination, not in electrical parameters.

PPC types are assigned to the module outputs by the module-side connector the cable carries.

Key features

• 23 types across 45 references, lengths from 0.3 m to 3.5 m, three length variants on most types

• The numeric part of the code, that is 001, 018 or 024, marks the connector pair; the same number means the same connectors across lengths

• Three module-side ends: DC 5.5 × 2.5 mm on the RC5-CE, DC 6.5 × 3.0 mm on the RC7-CE and 4pin Mini-DIN on the RC8 Gen2 CE

• On the camera side DC barrel 5.5 × 2.5, 5.5 × 2.1, 6.5 × 3.0, 4.0 × 1.7 and 5.5 × 3.3 mm, plus EIAJ-IV, 4pin Mini-DIN and RJ11, straight and right-angle

• The voltage along the cable is 12 V DC, identical on the RC5-CE, RC7-CE and RC8 Gen2 CE modules

• The PPC-020 extension piece, right-angle DC 5.5 × 2.5 mm male to female, in three lengths up to 2.0 m

Strengths and limits

When to reach for PPC

The "Verify" and "Consider another range" cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

Which camera and codec

The module side is set by the kit platform, and for one kit also by a specific item in its contents. The camera side is determined by the power input of the specific model.

For cables with an RJ11 end on the module side, that is PPC-013, PPC-019, PPC-022, PPC-023 and PPC-033, we work from what the customer's kit physically has fitted.

The code system

The power path through the kit

The manufacturer's warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect wiring. On the power side that means not making up or altering cables in the field.

Variants and the product range

The range also includes types we do not hold, that is PPC-002, PPC-006, PPC-008, PPC-010, PPC-015 and PPC-021, the only one with a 4pin XLR-F connector. PPC-006 and PPC-008 are splitters, "4-pin Mini-DIN to (2) 5.5×2.5mm DC Plugs". For a project we will source them.

What to check before ordering and deploying

1. Module output: 5.5 × 2.5 mm on the RC5-CE, 6.5 × 3.0 mm on the RC7-CE, 4pin Mini-DIN on the RC8 Gen2 CE

2. Camera input: the connector and its form, that is straight or right-angle; only both ends together fix the code

3. Type number: the same number means the same connectors, only the length can change

4. Length: by the distance from module to camera; over a greater distance consider the PPC-020 extension piece

5. Form of the code: on PPC-031 the original code is PPC-031-1.0 and PPC-031-2.0 without the trailing M

6. Disputed size: on PPC-004 we confirm whether the far connector is 5.5 × 3.3 mm or EIAJ-IV

7. Environment: check in advance what the project requires on plenum rating, CL2 and CL3

8. The rest of the system: the mains supply WPS and the signal cables RCC are separate ranges

The atlantis team will help with every point. On power cables that means above all tracing the code from the kit and the camera model, confirming the disputed references and completing the supply and the signal cabling, so that one connector is not what holds up the site.

Management and services

• No cloud management: These products have no central or cloud management. Passive kits and cabling need no configuration at all, active modules are set with DIP switches on the module itself.

• Firmware on active modules: on modules that allow a firmware update, it is loaded from a microSD card directly into the module. The procedure differs by range, so check it with us for the specific kit.

atlantis services for partners

atlantis is a direct importer and distributor, and we supply through a network of specialist partners. The services below are therefore offered to the partner, not to the end customer. The partner sets the scope. On one project we are only the source of the parts and a consultation, on another we design the whole run and oversee the work, on a third we take on the installation in full.

• Choosing the kit by camera and distance: we pick the kit from the camera or codec the customer already has, how far it sits from the equipment and which interface is used, that is HDMI, USB or fibre. We also say what to do about a device that is not on the compatibility list.

• Route design and building readiness: we go through the cable run with the partner, the category and length of the cabling, the number and position of the boxes, the wall penetration and the space in the rack. On in-wall mounts the opening size and cavity depth are what matters, and we settle those before the order, not on site.

• Completing the order: we match the kit with the right cables, power supply and mount, because that is exactly where jobs are left unfinished. We check that the pieces fit each other by connector and by length, and that nothing the partner needs on day one is missing from the delivery.

• Installation and commissioning: we handle the professional installation in full, or support the partner's own team where needed. Once it is wired we test the link at full distance, that is picture, camera control and power, before the ceiling is closed.

• Integration with the customer's environment: we advise on connecting to the codec, to the control system and to third-party software and hardware, and on how the kit behaves when the camera is swapped for a different model.

• Service, spare parts and warranty: our certified team in Czech, available to the partner throughout the equipment's life. We keep track of the replacement modules and parts by range and handle a warranty claim with the manufacturer on the partner's behalf.

Warranty

The standard warranty on Sound Control Technologies products is 3 years from the sale to the first purchaser, uniformly across the range. It applies equally to modules, cables, mounts and power supplies.
