Active and Passive Baluns
Active and Passive Baluns
Includes Two (2) Baluns
Active and passive baluns allow you to boost your signal when you have to use multiple cables so you don't loose quality. Easy installation and elimnates the need for coaxial cables. Built-in surge protector.
Many better security cameras now have both a balanced UTP output and an unbalanced coaxial one via an internal balun, though any camera can be used with an external balun. A balun is also used on the video recorder end to convert back from the 100-ohm balanced to 75-ohm unbalanced. A balun of this type has a BNC connector with two screw terminals. VGA/DVI baluns are baluns with electronic circuitry used to connect VGA/DVI sources (laptop, DVD, etc) to VGA/DVI display devices over long runs of CAT-5/CAT-6 cable. Runs over 400 feet may lose quality due to attenuation and variations in the arrival time of each signal. A skew control and special low skew or skew free cable is used for runs over 400 feet.
