Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a BNC to RJ45 video balun transceiver do?
A: A BNC to RJ45 video balun transceiver converts the signal from your CCTV camera's BNC connector so it can be transmitted over standard UTP (unshielded twisted pair) wiring — such as Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, or telephone wire — instead of coaxial cable. This 3-in-1 balun also passes audio and DC power through the same connection, making it a comprehensive cabling solution for security camera systems.
Q: Do I need a power source to use this passive balun?
A: No — this is a passive balun, meaning it does not require an external power source to transmit your video and audio signals. Power is passed through the 2.1×5.5mm DC connectors directly to your camera, keeping installation simple and efficient.
Q: What type of cable do I need to use with these baluns?
A: These baluns are compatible with standard UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables, including Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and standard telephone wire. This makes them ideal for retrofitting existing wiring in homes or businesses for CCTV use.
Q: How many cameras can I set up with this 5-pair kit?
A: This kit includes 5 pairs of transceivers — one transceiver for the camera end and one for the DVR/NVR end per pair — so you can connect up to 5 CCTV cameras in a single purchase.
