Altronix Hubway

The Altronix HubWay16Di Passive UTP Transceiver Hub w/Integral Isolated Camera Power transmits UTP video, RS422/RS485 data and power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. The unit provides 16 camera channels in a space saving 1U EIA 19” rack mount chassis which may be rack, wall or shelf mounted. Video transmission range is up to 750 feet per channel. Units are compatible with AC and/or DC fixed or PTZ cameras when utilizing Altronix HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners.

In addition, the unit features individually selectable 24VAC or 28VAC fuse protected outputs with surge suppression. An optional HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Isolated Camera Power can be used as an accessory module to transmit video from up to 4 cameras over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable back to the HubWay16Di. In addition, the HubSat4D provides power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

Labor Saving Devices

Labor Saving Devices (LSD) offers specialty devices designed to help you work miracles when wiring those impossible jobs. LSD’s Base-Boar-Zit® - Baseboard Drill Bit was developed to create a curved hole from just below carpet line up into the center of the floor plate in the wall cavity, therefore avoiding removing the base board and chiseling out a path through the wall and the wood floor plate.

This tool provides a clean, professional installation when you need to route wire or cable from the floor level up into the wall. It is ideal for slab construction, concrete floors or under-carpet wire applications.

The sturdy powder coated steel frame directs the specialized cable shaft paddle bit up along an arc into the wall cavity so that you prevent drilling through the opposite wall surface.
The Base-Boar-Zit is available in two sizes: the standard 5/16” size and the larger 7/16” size to accommodate coax. Each size is shipped as a kit that includes the cable bit with frame, a 10ft. thin fish wire in storage case (to fish your wire or cable through the curved hole) and hex wrench.

The ReBore-Zit drill bit is designed to enlarge a previously drilled hole while retaining the existing wire in that hole.

The bit is fabricated with a custom made, hollow bodied drill bit containing a free spinning, swivel eyelet mounted to its pilot hole center shaft.

It is available in 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”, 1” (final size of re-drilled hole) diameters. Each diameter has an associated pilot hole size.
