The SharpZ3 cable connects the SharpZ3 camera to the SharpZ3 base unit. SharpZ3 camera cables are engineered by Genetec™ Inc. for guaranteed performance and compliance at various levels (signal integrity, EMI, flexibility, sealing, environmental).

SharpZ3 camera cables are pre-terminated with an M12 x-code connector (SharpZ3 camera) and an RJ45 connector (SharpZ3 base unit). The RJ45 connector doesn’t carry the standard Ethernet protocol. It carries a proprietary protocol that operates at a higher frequency.

IMPORTANT:
  • Don’t try to make your own SharpZ3 camera cable. Doing so can result in intermittent or permanent camera connection problems.
  • You can shorten the provided SharpZ3 camera cable, but don’t attempt to extend it.
  • Don’t use a coupling mechanism to connect the SharpZ3 camera cable to another cable.
NOTE:
  • An EZ-RJPRO™ HD crimp tool is included with the AutoVu™ Installation Kit.
  • New RJ45 connectors are included with every SharpZ3 system.
