Product Description
Passive BNC-to-UTP video balun rated for 8MP/4K HD-over-coax signals — spec it where structured cabling is already in the wall and coax isn't an option.
Format and resolution support
Runs HD-TVI, AHD, HD-CVI and legacy analog signals through the same connector, so it drops into mixed-generation systems without a format-specific SKU. Resolution ceiling is 8MP (4K), which covers current HD-TVI/AHD/CVI camera ranges — check the DVR/NVR's own input spec before pairing with an 8MP head end.
Cabling and installation notes
- Connector: BNC male, gold-plated contact plate for a more stable signal path and reduced degradation at the joint
- Cable run: designed for Cat5e or Cat6 UTP in place of coax
- Power: passive — no external PSU required
- Deployment: install in pairs (one at the camera end, one at the DVR/NVR end) to complete the coax-to-UTP-to-coax link
- Form factor: compact, for direct fitment at camera housings, DVR inputs or existing coax runs
Where it fits
Useful on jobs where Cat5e/Cat6 infrastructure is already run — commercial, industrial or residential — and pulling new coax isn't practical. Because it's passive, expect the achievable run length and signal integrity to depend on cable quality, resolution and format in use; test on site before committing to a long run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which CCTV formats does this balun support?
It's compatible with HD-TVI, AHD, HD-CVI and conventional analog CCTV video signals up to 8MP (4K).
Does the balun need external power?
No — it's a passive device and doesn't require a separate power supply.
How many baluns do I need per camera run?
Passive baluns are installed in pairs: one at the camera end and one at the DVR/NVR end of the Cat5e/Cat6 run.
Can I use Cat6 cable instead of Cat5e?
Yes, the balun is designed for transmission over either Cat5e or Cat6 UTP cable.
