Installation Tips
For best results, use a high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable run in a straight line between your camera and DVR/NVR. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage electrical wiring to minimize interference. The passive design means zero configuration — simply connect BNC to your camera, plug the RJ45 into your cable run, and repeat at the other end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What cable do I need to use with these HD BNC Video Balun Transceivers?
A: These passive video balun transceivers are designed for use with standard Cat5 or Cat5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. Cat5e is recommended for longer runs and higher resolutions to ensure optimal signal quality and minimal interference.
Q: Are these BNC video baluns compatible with my existing CCTV cameras?
A: Yes — these transceivers are compatible with all HD-CVI, HD-TVI, and HD-AHD cameras and recorders. They support multiple resolutions including 960H, 720P, 1080P, 3MP, 4MP, and 5MP, making them a versatile choice for most modern analog HD surveillance setups.
Q: How far can these video balun transceivers transmit a signal?
A: These passive UTP video balun transceivers can transmit HD video signals up to approximately 450 meters (about 1,475 feet) at 720P resolution over Cat5/Cat5e cable. Transmission distance may vary slightly depending on cable quality and resolution used.
Q: Do these video baluns require a power supply?
A: No. These are fully passive transceivers, meaning they require no external power supply. They draw no power and require no additional hardware — simply connect them in-line between your camera and your DVR/NVR via Cat5/Cat5e cable.
