Ruth's sister International Power Cord 2Pcs AHD/CVI/TVI BNC UTP Balun

SKU CH-13W8-7ZGNG

A pair of passive video baluns transmits AHD, CVI and TVI signals over twisted-pair cable up to 8MP resolution

  • Transmit HD video over twisted pair using passive baluns
  • Connect AHD CVI TVI cameras via standard Cat5 cable
  • Eliminate coaxial runs with UTP video transceivers
  • Support 8MP and 4K signals through passive conversion
  • Install in pairs for reliable point-to-point CCTV links

CCTV Video Balun Pair for AHD CVI TVI

This pair of passive transceivers converts BNC coaxial signals to UTP twisted-pair cabling for AHD, CVI and TVI cameras. It suits installers running analogue-HD video over Cat5 or Cat6 infrastructure without external power supplies.

Passive BNC to RJ45 transceivers

Each unit presents a BNC female connector on one side and screw-terminal blocks for twisted-pair wire on the other, allowing direct termination without crimping tools. The passive design means no power adapters are needed at either end, simplifying long cable pulls in conduit or trunking.

Distance and resolution limits of passive UTP

Passive baluns typically support 8 MP or 4K video up to a few hundred metres over Cat5e or Cat6, but reach drops sharply with higher resolutions or interference. They do not equalise signal loss like active receivers, so very long runs or electrically noisy sites may require powered alternatives.

Questions about this item

What video standards do the BNC UTP baluns support and what resolution do they cap at?

The baluns handle AHD, CVI and TVI signals and are rated for 8MP high-definition video.

What cable type and connector does each balun require for the twisted-pair side?

Each unit uses a standard RJ45 jack for Cat5 or Cat5e UTP cable.

How are the passive transceivers installed and which step is often missed?

Connect a BNC plug to the camera or DVR, punch down the UTP pairs to the RJ45, then link both ends with the twisted-pair cable; the step often missed is keeping the pair twists intact right up to the terminals.
