Product Description
A passive video balun for pulling HD-over-coax signal down Cat5e/Cat6 UTP instead of RG59 — one unit at the camera, one at the DVR/NVR end, no local power needed.
Key specs
- Formats: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and standard analog, up to 8MP (4K) resolution
- Connection: BNC male for camera or DVR/NVR input
- Termination: screw terminal block for the twisted-pair leg — no crimp connectors needed
- Cable: designed for Cat5e or Cat6
- Power: passive, no external supply required
Why it matters on site
Running Cat5e/Cat6 instead of coax cuts cable cost and bulk on multi-camera pulls, and the screw terminal means a quick termination on site rather than fitting a specific connector type. Because it's passive, transmission distance and signal stability depend on cable quality, run length and the resolution/format in use — check against your DVR/NVR's supported input format before specifying at 8MP.
Sold as a single unit: for a working link you'll need a matched pair, one at each end of the run. Suitable for new-build HD-TVI/AHD/CVI/analog installs and for retrofits where existing Cat5e/Cat6 infrastructure is being reused instead of pulling fresh coax.
