Had the network cable get damaged on one of my IPC-HDW4231EM cameras and am looking to replace the cable to save the camera. I see that the cable is glued/epoxied into the housing hole - I assume I can just drill it out? What is a replacement network cable for it? I'm seeing 12 pin 8 core? The wire colors don't match what I'm seeing on AliExpress but the pin/wire positions appear to. Thoughts?
If you're connected via POE there's at least 2 on the pigtail assembly coming into the camera you won't really need...usually colored red (for 12VDC positive) and black (12VDC negative), they go to a barrel connector apart form the Ethernet pigtail; you'll get data and power (via POE) on the conductors of the RJ-45 female. And depending on the POE mode actually only 4 will be used but I wouldn't worry about that now.
Before disconnecting or cutting anything I'd use a DVM or continuity checker to know which wires on the camera's PCB go to which pins of the Ethernet female and write them down here:
