Use these Baluns for
transmission of Composite Video 300 ~ 600 metres using UTP Network
or Telephone Cable
Future-Proof new installs use UTP (more easily
& at less cost than Coaxial Cable) re-use it for
Network (Megapixel)
Cameras in the future

BalUns for transmission of common composite Video over a single twisted
pair in a Network Cable. 4 individual signals can be carried over a
single, flexible, easily-installed, low cost 4 pair UTP Cat-5, Cat-5e,
Cat-6 LAN or Telephone Cable.
Single-Cable-Solution, use spare pairs in a 4 pair
Network Cable to carry Power & Audio & Data (RS485).
These
passive BalUns
are suitable for transmission up to ~600 Metres using high quality UTP
LAN Cable, we recommend testing to assess results with 120 ohm impedance
UTP Telephone Cable.
Active Amplifiers can be used at
Transmitting &/or Receiving ends to compensate for
high-frequency-attenuation (image detail,
colour) & other losses.

Single-Cable-Solution 600 + metres use spare pair(s) for Power
Supply for
In-Line Rectifier/Regulator.
To ensure
best possible image contrast and brightness in Low-Light conditions
we recommended High-Quality Low-Loss Coaxial Cable and
AV-Amp or
Vid-Amp/4 for long runs, acceptable results may be possible with
unshielded Cat-5/6 Cable and
TWIST-AMP.
Twisted
Pairs may be paralleled to extend the transmission distance of Video
Signals however any gain will be a trade-off as paralleled pairs
lower immunity to common-mode interference and increase attenuation
of high frequency signals.
In-Line
Regulator-Rectifiers
Input: AC or DC Output: 12 VDC Regulated. Ideal for long power cable
runs where voltage drop due to cable resistance is a problem.
   
REG-12VDC *
Rect-Reg *
Rect-Reg+

Cable resistance, Cable length and Current drawn by Camera affect
voltage drop which can be reduced by using thicker gauge wire and/or
paralleling pairs. A test using 24 AWG Cat-5 Cable, a 24 vac
Power Supply, REG-12VDC In-Line Rectifier-Regulator and a Camera
that draws 100 milliamps demonstrated that lengths of 600 + metres
is practical, 2 pairs in parallel would increase this to 1 200 +
metres.
A single
24 AWG (0.5 mm diameter) conductor has a resistance of ~ 9.4 ohms
per 100 metres, voltage drop will be ~ 1 volt per 50 metres of Cat-5
Twisted Pair when powering a Camera that draws 100 milliamps.
(calculation: 9.4 ohms x 0.1 amps = 0.94 Volts)
