Code Blue CB6S00194 Network Switch
Overview
The Code Blue CB6S00194 is a network switch designed for surveillance system integration where 24V DC power distribution and Ethernet connectivity are core requirements. This model supports distributed camera deployments across security installations, handling data and power delivery in a single managed platform.
Key Features
- 24V DC Power Input: Operates directly on 24V DC supply—standard in security installations where centralized power distribution already feeds auxiliary devices like door locks, relays, and paging amplifiers. Eliminates the need for separate AC-to-DC conversion at the switch location.
- Ethernet Connectivity: Ethernet ports support IP camera data transport and network device communication, integrating directly into surveillance VMS and access control systems that rely on standard TCP/IP protocols.
- Surveillance-Grade Deployment: Built for installations where network switches must coexist with 24V DC powered peripherals—common in warehouses, retail, and industrial security where power distribution is centralized at a single source rather than distributed across multiple outlets.
Integration & Compatibility
The CB6S00194 integrates into existing surveillance networks where 24V DC infrastructure is already established. Pairs with IP cameras, NVRs, and access control systems running standard Ethernet protocols. When deploying across facilities with unified 24V DC power plants (warehouses, production facilities, transit hubs), the CB6S00194 simplifies wiring by eliminating dual power supplies—security devices and switching infrastructure draw from the same 24V source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power input does the CB6S00194 require?
A: The CB6S00194 operates on 24V DC power input, standard in surveillance installations with centralized power distribution.
Q: Is the CB6S00194 suitable for indoor or outdoor installation?
A: The CB6S00194 is designed for surveillance system integration; specific environmental ratings (IP rating, operating temperature range) should be verified with the manufacturer for your intended deployment location.
Q: Can the CB6S00194 work with ONVIF-compliant cameras?
A: The CB6S00194 provides Ethernet connectivity for standard IP-based surveillance devices; ONVIF compatibility depends on your camera and VMS selection, not the switch itself.
Q: What Ethernet ports does the CB6S00194 have?
A: Port count and specifications should be confirmed with the manufacturer or product documentation specific to your unit.
Q: Does the CB6S00194 support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
A: The CB6S00194 is powered by external 24V DC; specific PoE support should be verified with the manufacturer.
The Code Blue CB6S00194 is purpose-built for surveillance deployments where 24V DC infrastructure is already the backbone of your power distribution. If you're working in a facility—warehouse, manufacturing plant, or retail distribution center—that runs a single 24V DC plant feeding door strikes, paging amplifiers, and auxiliary security hardware, the CB6S00194 eliminates the penalty of dual power supplies at the network switch.
Technical Highlights:
- 24V DC Power Input: Direct integration with existing 24V DC centralized power plants means no separate AC outlet or redundant power supply needed at the switch location. One power source, one feed, lower complexity and cost.
- Ethernet Connectivity: Standard Ethernet ports support IP camera streams, NVR traffic, and access control data in a single managed interface—no bifurcated network architecture.
- Surveillance-Native Design: Built specifically for security system integration where power and data topology are tightly coupled rather than treated as separate infrastructure.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your facility's 24V DC power budget before deployment—the CB6S00194 must share supply with cameras, locks, and amplifiers. If your 24V supply is already saturated, you may need to upgrade the power plant or reconfigure load distribution.
- Confirm port count and throughput specifications with the manufacturer before committing to a large multi-camera deployment. Network capacity planning depends on resolution, frame rate, and number of simultaneous streams you intend to support.
The CB6S00194 is the right fit for coordinated 24V DC installations where the switch is deployed in or near a central power distribution panel—shipping docks, warehouse receiving areas, and production floors where power distribution is intentionally centralized to simplify maintenance and reduce wiring complexity.
