Single-Channel Passive Video Balun

The BattleBorn W-VB202B is a single-channel passive video balun designed for CCTV and surveillance installations. It converts an unbalanced video signal to a balanced format for transmission over standard UTP CAT5 cable. The two-pack provides a matched pair for point-to-point connection at both ends of the cable run. Installers use these units to extend video reach without active power requirements.

Transmission Limits Over UTP CAT5

Video transmission via UTP CAT5 cable supports a maximum distance of 330m or 1000ft between the paired baluns. Signal quality relies on the cable category and installation practices; performance beyond this range is not supported by the design. The passive construction offers outstanding interference rejection and transient protection without needing an external power source. Exceeding the stated distance will degrade the image regardless of cable quality.

Passive Operation Defines Use Case

Because the balun is passive, it requires no power supply at either the camera or the recording end. This makes it suitable for locations where running power to the balun itself is impractical or impossible. Buyers needing signal amplification for runs longer than 330m or for cascading multiple segments cannot use this passive model. Active or powered baluns would be necessary for those extended-distance scenarios.

Questions about this item

Is this a single balun or a pair?

The listing is a 2-pack, so you receive two identical passive video baluns in one box.

What cable distance does the 330 m figure assume?

That is the maximum transmit distance over UTP CAT5 when a pair of baluns is used at each end.

Which connector standard does the BNC side use?

Each balun provides a single BNC connector for the coaxial video signal.
