Product Description
BALUN-SCREW-White-8MP: passive UTP video balun for HD-over-coax formats
This passive balun lets you run HD-TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS video over Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair instead of coax — useful where UTP is already first-fixed or coax runs aren't practical.
Key specs
- Format support: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS (analogue)
- Resolution: up to 8MP / 4K
- Camera-side connector: BNC male, for direct connection to camera or DVR input
- Cable-side termination: screw terminal block for UTP conductors — no crimp tool required
- Cable type: Cat5e or Cat6
- Power: passive, no external supply needed
Deployment notes
Baluns of this type are used in pairs — one at the camera, one at the DVR/NVR — with the twisted-pair run between them carrying the video signal. Because it's passive, there's no power budget to plan for on the balun itself, but signal quality over long UTP runs still depends on cable grade and termination quality.
The screw terminal makes on-site wiring quick: strip and clamp the pair rather than fitting RJ45 or specialised connectors, which is handy for retrofits or panel-mount installs.
Compatibility
Format support covers the four common HD-over-coax analogue standards plus legacy CVBS, so it suits mixed-generation analogue/HD-TVI/AHD/CVI systems up to 8MP without needing a format-specific balun.
