Product Description
This is a passive video balun: it converts a BNC coax connection to a screw-terminal connection for twisted pair cable, with no power supply needed.
What it does
It carries HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS video signals, at resolutions up to 8MP (4K). Camera and DVR (digital video recorder) must use the same format — the balun does not convert between formats.
Connections
- BNC male connector — plugs straight into a camera or DVR video input
- Screw terminal block — for the Cat5e or Cat6 twisted pair cable, no crimping tool required
- Passive — no external power supply needed
Using it in a system
Baluns of this type work in pairs: one unit at the camera end, one at the DVR end, joined by a run of Cat5e or Cat6 cable in place of coax. Check that both ends match on video format and resolution before wiring in.
This is a connector-level accessory — it does not record, power or convert video formats itself. Confirm your camera and DVR support a shared format (HD-TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS) and the resolution you need before ordering baluns for a run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this balun require a separate power source?
No. It's a passive design, so it doesn't need an external power supply.
Can I use this with Cat6 cable instead of Cat5e?
Yes, it's designed to work with either Cat5e or Cat6 twisted pair cable.
Will it convert between video formats, e.g. AHD to CVI?
No. It transmits HD-TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS signals but doesn't convert between them, so camera and DVR need to share the same format.
What resolution can this balun handle?
It supports resolutions up to 8MP (4K) for HD-over-coax CCTV systems.
