Product Description
A passive BNC-to-RJ45 video balun for running HD-over-coax CCTV signal over Cat5e or Cat6 UTP cable instead of coax. No external power is required — the unit is passive by design.
Key specs
- Video formats: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and standard analog — confirm the camera and DVR/recorder both use one of these formats before specifying
- Resolution support: up to 8MP / 4K, covering current HD-over-coax camera generations
- Connectors: BNC male for camera or DVR-side connection; RJ45 for the UTP cable run
- Contacts: gold plated BNC contacts, intended to improve connection stability
- Power: passive — no external power supply needed
Installation notes
Baluns of this type are deployed in pairs — one at the camera end, one at the DVR/NVR end — to carry the video signal over the UTP run between them. This makes them a practical option on jobs where Cat5e/Cat6 cabling is already in place, or where running fresh coax is impractical.
SKU
BALUN-SCREW-BLACK-8MP-GOLD.
Because the BNC male connector plugs straight into a camera or DVR BNC input, no additional coax adapters are needed at the connection point itself. Format compatibility should still be checked against the camera and recorder in use, since analog and HD-over-coax formats are not universally interchangeable across all DVR generations.
