Re: Help wiring the Axis 206 to the PDB.

The electrical team decided that it was okay to just wire in the camera directly into the 5v connector without any type of module.
The camera wires directly into the 5v gray built-in wago connector on the Power Distribution Panel. That gray piece is itself a wago connecter, not a place to plug in a white wago connector.

On the the Power Distribution Panel, the lone white wago plug is only used for connecting the 12v-to-5v converter for the DLink.
