Product Description
Overview
Passive video balun for transmitting HD CCTV signals over Cat5e or Cat6 twisted pair cable instead of coax, with a screw terminal block for tool-free wiring on site.
Key specs
- Resolution support: up to 8MP (4K)
- Video formats: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, analog
- Camera/DVR connection: BNC male
- Cable connection: screw terminal block for Cat5e/Cat6 UTP
- Power: passive — no external power supply required
Format compatibility
Supporting HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and analog on the same unit means it isn't tied to a single DVR manufacturer's HD-over-coax system — useful on mixed-brand installs or when swapping cameras on existing runs. Confirm the receiving DVR/NVR input accepts the format of the camera in use before deployment.
Deployment notes
Units work in pairs — one at the camera end, one at the DVR end — to run video over structured cabling where coax hasn't been pulled. The screw terminal accepts stripped twisted pair conductors directly, no crimp tooling needed. Being passive, there's no power budget to account for on either end of the run, which simplifies planning versus active balun kits.
Suitable for retrofit jobs, extensions to existing Cat5e/Cat6 infrastructure, and camera upgrades on legacy analog cabling where re-running coax isn't practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this balun need a power supply?
No — it's a passive design and requires no external power at either end of the run.
What video formats does it support?
HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and conventional analog CCTV signals, at resolutions up to 8MP (4K).
What cable does it use?
Cat5e or Cat6 twisted pair cable, wired into the screw terminal block, in place of coax.
Do I need one balun or two per camera run?
Baluns are used in pairs — one at the camera end and one at the DVR end of the cable run.
