Ten passive video baluns for UTP cable

This pack contains ten passive video baluns that transmit CCTV signals over ordinary Cat5 or similar unshielded twisted-pair wiring. Each balun has a BNC male connector on one side and a terminal block on the other, so no RJ-45 crimping is required. The passive design needs no external power supply, making installation faster and simpler. They are suited for new runs or for reusing existing structured cabling in a building.

Installers who want a lower-cost alternative

These baluns suit installers looking to reduce material cost and labour by running video, power and a spare pair over a single Cat5 cable. They are not for systems that need active signal amplification beyond the rated distance. Buyers who require powered transceivers, fibre-optic links or HD-SDI bandwidth should look at other products.

Monochrome up to 1000 feet and colour up to 800 feet

The key specification is the maximum transmission distance: monochrome video reaches 1000 feet and colour video reaches 800 feet over UTP cable. This range decides whether the balun fits the camera layout without additional active equipment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10-piece pack or buy baluns individually for my CCTV install?

The 10-piece pack provides five matched pairs, giving you exactly the transmit and receive units needed for five camera runs without mixing loose parts.

What do the 1,000-foot monochrome and 800-foot colour distances mean once the baluns are connected?

Those are the maximum usable cable lengths over Cat5 UTP; monochrome signals reach 1,000 feet and colour signals reach 800 feet before picture quality degrades.

What interface do the baluns use and what cable type does it limit me to?

Each balun has a BNC male connector that terminates to a screw terminal block, so you must use unshielded twisted-pair cable such as Cat5 rather than coaxial cable.
