Bluecctv Bl-EV08AR-1U 8CH Active Balun Multi-Receiver

SKU CH-DRFE-BWVC2

Eight-channel active video receiver transmits CCTV signals over CAT5 UTP cable with 60 dB common-mode rejection and 6 kV transient protection

  • 8-channel active receiver extends video range over CAT5
  • 6 kV transient protection meets IEC 61000-4-5 standard
  • 60 dB common-mode rejection from 15 kHz to 6 MHz
  • 100 Ω UTP to 75 Ω BNC impedance matching
  • 1U rackmount unit measuring 17" x 3.3" x 1.7

Product Identity

The Bluecctv Bl-EV08AR-1U is an eight-channel active balun multi-receiver built for surveillance installations. It converts video signals from unshielded twisted-pair cabling back to coaxial BNC outputs for recording or monitoring equipment.

Suitable Applications

This unit suits installers running video over CAT5 or higher UTP cable across long distances where passive baluns would lose signal quality. It is not intended for setups that require power over the same cable pair or for single-channel point-to-point links without a rack-mounted receiver.

Capacity and Headroom

The receiver handles eight simultaneous video channels with a frequency response from DC to 6 MHz and common-mode rejection of 60 dB across the 15 kHz to 6 MHz range. Transient protection is rated at 6 kV to IEC 61000-4-5, and the AC input accepts 100 to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz.

Questions about this item

What type and gauge of cable do I need to connect cameras to the 8CH Active Balun Multi-Receiver?

Use 24AWG UTP CAT5 or higher cable with a DC loop resistance of 18 ohms per 100 metres and differential capacitance of 62pF per metre maximum.

Will the BNC coaxial ports on this receiver match the 75 ohm impedance of my existing analogue cameras?

Yes, the BNC coaxial connections are rated at 75 ohms while the UTP RJ-45 side is 100 ohms, so they match standard analogue camera impedance.

How can I verify the unit is powered and passing video after installation?

Connect AC power between 100 and 240 volts at 50 or 60 hertz; the active receiver will then amplify video signals across the DC to 6MHz range with 60dB common-mode rejection.
