VideoSecu VB213AP5 Balun Kit

This five-pair balun kit transmits audio, video and 12VDC or 24VAC power over a single Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable. Each pair includes one unit for the camera and one for the DVR, simplifying structured cabling for CCTV installations. The compact design enables neat, streamlined runs in home, auditorium or small-business environments. Built-in surge protection and superior EMI/RFI rejection help maintain signal integrity.

Replacing Coaxial Cable Runs

The baluns replace separate coaxial, audio and power cables with one inexpensive Cat. 5 run that carries video up to 1000 feet. The upgrade is worth it when existing coax is costly, difficult to pull or when plenum-rated coax would exceed the budget. Consolidating three signals into one cable reduces material cost and installation labour while delivering comparable video quality.

Installers Needing Multi-Camera Power Over UTP

This kit suits installers who need to power multiple cameras and return audio and video over a single Cat. 5 infrastructure. It is not for systems that require fibre-optic transmission distances beyond 1000 feet. Buyers who need individual baluns rather than a five-pair pack should look at single-pair options. Installations without available 12VDC or 24VAC supply at the DVR end cannot use the power-routing feature.

Questions about this item

What cable type and maximum distance does the VB213AP5 support for video transmission?

It sends video up to 1000 feet over inexpensive Cat. 5 twisted pair cable.

How are the two baluns connected and which end goes to the camera?

One balun connects to the camera and the other to the DVR; both use screw terminals for Cat. 5 wires and a power jack, so match the labelled camera and DVR sides before tightening.

What power voltages can be routed through the Cat. 5 run and does the unit need separate power?

The balun passes 12VDC or 24VAC over the same Cat. 5 cable, drawing power from the DVR end so no local supply is required at the camera.
