Product Description
Spec summary
Pack of 2 CAT6/CAT5e BNC video balun transceivers rated for up to 8MP. Covers CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS outputs from one unit, so format matching against a specific DVR/NVR line isn't required on install.
Why it matters on a job
Baluns move the video signal from coax onto twisted-pair (Cat5/Cat6) runs. That's the core use case here: converting a coax-terminated camera feed to run over network cable while keeping the signal usable for CCTV monitoring.
Deployment notes
- Format coverage: 4-in-1 (CVI/TVI/AHD/CVBS) — confirm which format the camera or DVR is actually outputting before wiring, since the balun itself doesn't change what the camera transmits.
- Resolution ceiling: 8MP. Don't spec this against cameras above that resolution.
- Cable type: designed for Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair runs, replacing a coax leg.
- Long-distance runs: built to preserve signal integrity over extended cable lengths, relevant on larger site installs where coax runs would otherwise be impractical.
- Pack quantity: sold as a pair — you'll need a balun at each end of the run (camera side and head-end side).
Fit for the job
Suited to upgrading an existing analogue/HD-analogue run to twisted-pair, or specifying new cabling on jobs where coax isn't practical. Confirm camera output format and resolution against the 8MP/4-in-1 spec above before adding to a parts list.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution does this balun support?
Up to 8MP, so it's suited to HD-analogue and CVBS cameras at or below that resolution — not above it.
Which video formats does it work with?
CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS — a single 4-in-1 unit, but check which format your camera or DVR actually outputs before install.
How many baluns are in the pack?
Two — one for each end of the run, since you need a transceiver at both the camera and the head-end.
What cable does it convert to?
It adapts a coax connection to Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cabling for the run.
