Passive
Baluns
You can't just connect the wires - you'll lose signal
strength and picture quality. A video balun corrects this
problem by balancing impedance and other electrical
characteristics, which minimizes signal loss and noise.
It's important to use
video baluns when sending video over
Cat5
since the
impedance specifications of Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 are 100
ohms. Video requires 75 ohm impedance and you'll introduce
artifacts to your video without a balun.

BNC
TO CAT 5 (RJ-45)
This passive video balun connects a BNC coax cable to
8-conductor twisted pair cable (RJ-8 or RJ-45 type
connector). It balances impedance and acts as an electrical
filter, reducing noise and improving video quality.

-
Compact size
-
Transmits color video signals up to 400 meters (437.4
yards), b/w video up to 600 meters (656.2 yards)
-
Distances of up to 1 kilometer when used with active
baluns
-
Built-in noise filter
-
Cost saving: No coax needed
-
Category 5 (CAT 5) wire recommended.

BNC
TO Terminal Block
This passive video balun connects a coax cable (using a BNC
style connector) to 8-conductor twisted pair cable (bare
wire terminal block connection). It balances impedance and
acts as an electrical filter, reducing noise and improving
video quality.

-
Compact size
-
Terminal block screw-style wire connectors for UTP or
STP cable, BNC connector for coaxial cable.
-
Transmits color video signals up to 400 meters (437.4
yards) or b/w video up to 600 meters (656.2 yards)
-
Distances of up to 1 kilometer when used with active
baluns
-
Cost savings when used to eliminate or shorten long
coaxial runs.
-
Built-in noise filter
-
Category 5 (CAT 5) wire recommended

Video
Balun with Power
This passive balun connects a BNC coax cable to 8-conductor
twisted pair cable (RJ-45). It has an integrated power cord
for connection to your camera (for use with Cat 5 cables
that have data and active power*).

Note: Typical category 5 cable uses 24 AWG (American
Wire Gauge) twisted pair copper wire and is designed to
safely carry 12VDC power required for most surveillance
cameras when configured properly using pins 4 and 5 of the
standard jack (8P8C modular connector). Always be aware of
safety considerations, wire routing considerations,
environmental considerations and voltage drop after 100
meters when using powered Cat 5 cable.
