what connector is this

Recommended Posts

Hello, I want to add a PTZ camera to my samsung sdr 5100n system but the 485 port on the back doesnt have screw terminals, instead its like this. I want to use cat5 for the data line since i already have an existing camera in the location that the PTZ is going. How do i terminate the cat5 at the DVR end? Thanks for any help

if you are still struggling with the connector you can buy some cheap BOOTLACE FERRULES.

Get the right size for the dvr pins and if you can attach a short stranded cable to it and gently squeeze the ferrule so it grips the wire while leaving the end of the ferrule round so it can be pushed on to the dvr terminal pin for your connection. add some insulating tape around to avoid shorting pins then just join the stranded cable to your cat 5 and then cable tie or tape the wires onto the chasis to stop them pulling out.

Its a rough fix but will work, - I have done this in the past with hard to get connectors.

These ferrules can be bought from stores like Maplin.- easy workaround/fix.
