Product Description
BNC-to-RJ45 passive video balun for analogue HD CCTV runs, rated to support resolutions up to 8MP. Fit one at the camera and one at the DVR input to carry the coax video signal over Cat5e or Cat6 instead of coaxial cable.
Key specs
- Signal conversion: BNC coaxial video to RJ45, for transmission over twisted-pair network cable
- Resolution support: up to 8MP
- Camera compatibility: HD-TVI, AHD and CVI analogue HD systems
- Cabling: Cat5e or Cat6 twisted pair
- Power: passive — no external power supply required
- Fitting: tool-free, plug-and-play at both ends
On the job
Baluns are used in pairs — one terminated at the camera's BNC output, the other at the DVR's BNC input — with a standard RJ45 patch or fixed run of Cat5e/Cat6 between them. Because the design is passive, there's no power injector or PSU to budget for or fail electrically at either end, which simplifies fault-finding versus active baluns.
Swapping coax for network cable on a run can reduce cabling cost and ease first-fix where Cat5e/Cat6 is already being pulled for other services. As this unit is rated to 8MP, it covers current HD-TVI, AHD and CVI camera resolutions without downgrading the signal path, provided the twisted-pair run and termination are sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution does this balun support?
It supports HD video up to 8MP, covering current HD-TVI, AHD and CVI analogue camera outputs.
Does it need a power supply?
No — it's a passive balun, so it draws no power of its own at either end of the run.
What cable should I use between the pair?
Standard Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair network cable run between the camera-end and DVR-end balun.
How many units do I need per camera?
Two — one connected to the camera's BNC output and one to the DVR's BNC input, joined by Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
