COMB, MAXIMUS MBX and OHEGBB: communication and junction boxes for camera field wiring.
Pelco communication boxes house the terminations and auxiliary cards behind a camera. The range covers the weatherproof COMB, the explosion-proof stainless steel MAXIMUS MBX, and the OHEGBB external junction box rated to IP55.
COMB weatherproof box for rugged environments
MAXIMUS MBX explosion-proof, stainless steel, for hazardous sites
OHEGBB external junction box, IP55, for harnesses and auxiliary cards
Every field camera needs somewhere for cables to be joined, for auxiliary cards to sit,
and for the transition between site cabling and the camera's own tails to be made. Doing that
inside the camera housing is bad practice: it means opening the camera for any cabling change,
and it crowds an enclosure whose seal is the only thing protecting the optics. A box alongside
the camera keeps the two jobs separate.
Pelco's range maps onto the three situations you actually meet. The COMB is the
weatherproof box for rugged environments - the ordinary outdoor case. The MAXIMUS MBX is
explosion-proof and built in stainless steel, for hazardous sites where the box is part of the
certified installation and the atmosphere is usually corrosive as well. The OHEGBB is an
external junction box to weatherproof standard IP55, intended for housing wiring harnesses or
auxiliary cards.
Once there is a box, the installation becomes serviceable. A technician can isolate,
re-terminate, test and fault-find at the box without breaking the camera's seal, which on a
coastal or offshore site is exactly the intervention you want to avoid repeating. Spare cores
can be parked, auxiliary cards housed, and the cable schedule gains a defined, documented
break point.
The details that decide whether one of these lasts are unglamorous: entries specified and
glanded properly rather than drilled on site, the gland plate arranged so water cannot track
in, and enough internal volume to work in with gloves on. In a classified area the box, its
entries and its glands all have to match the zone and gas group in the same way the camera
does. We specify boxes as part of the installation design rather than picking them up at the
end of it.
Features
COMB. Weatherproof communication box for rugged environments.
MAXIMUS MBX. Explosion-proof and stainless steel, for hazardous
sites.
OHEGBB. External junction box to IP55, for wiring harnesses or
auxiliary cards.
Multiple connection options. Pelco's stated purpose for the range is
facilitating device integration.
Serviceable installation. Isolate, re-terminate and test without
breaking the camera's seal.
Documented break point. A defined boundary between site cabling and
camera tails, which makes later fault-finding quicker.
Applications
A box appears wherever a camera is more than a short run from its equipment room.
Mast and pole-mounted cameras. Terminations at height, kept out of the
camera housing.
Perimeter runs. Break points along a fence line, and spare cores for
later additions.
Jetties and marine structures. Stainless against constant salt
exposure.
Classified areas. MAXIMUS MBX forming part of the approved
installation.
Wash-down areas. Food, water treatment and process areas where hosing
is routine.
Retrofits. Where new cameras have to be joined into cabling already
installed.
Support & Documents
PT Vivo Asia Teknologi Indonesia supplies surveillance equipment as part of a designed
and commissioned system rather than as a boxed item. Our scope typically covers:
Site survey, camera placement and field-of-view study against your actual site.
System design, including transmission, power, recording capacity and mounting.
Supply, installation, termination and commissioning.
Integration with your VMS, access control and PAGA or alarm systems.
Analytics configuration and tuning to bring false alarms down to a workable level.
Operator and maintainer training, with ongoing maintenance and support.
Optical, electrical and approval details vary by variant and are confirmed against the
current manufacturer datasheet at quotation stage. Tell us the area to be covered, the
detection distance you need and the site conditions, and we will come back with the right
variant and a full bill of materials.
Use the enquiry button above for a datasheet, a specification or a project quotation.
