  Up to 3,000 feet (914 meters) with active receivers
Revision Number:
052103

Description:
4 Port video balun mini-hub with built-in surge
suppression. System operates with other Nitek
UTP video equipment including, video balun hubs,
standard video balun transceivers or active receivers.

The VH439 video balun mini-hub is a multi-channel video transmission device that provides a low cost means of sending quality live video over Category UTP cabling. The system can also adapt to existing communication and computer network spare pairs. The VH439 can send video up to 750 feet (228 meters) when used with other products in the VB37 or VB39 family. When used with model TR515 or TR560 active receivers, distances of 1,500 feet (457 meters) and 3,000 feet (914 meters) respectively can be attained. The VH439 is designed to provide superior immunity from noise and interference, such as RFI and EMI.

Features:

  • Quality video over ordinary twisted pair cable
  • Built-in protection from power surges and transients
  • High immunity to noise and interference
  • Passive units require no power
  • Video & P/T/Z over a single pair with “up-the-coax”
    systems
  • Highly compact, wall-mounted unit
  • RJ45 modular jack or screw terminals for easy
    connection when used with other passive baluns
  • Video can be run in the same cable with telephone,
    computer signals and power

Wire and Cable Recommendations

Twisted Sender is recommended for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The systems will operate over wire gauges from 26 AWG through 12 AWG but are optimized for 24
AWG. Category cabling may be used.

Individually shielded pairs should be avoided as they drastically reduce the operating
range of the systems. Multi-pair cable with an overall shield is acceptable. Video can be operated in the same communication cable coexistent with telephone, computer, control signals, power voltages and other video signals. While video may be routed through telephone punch down block terminals, any
bridge-taps, also called T-taps and any resistive, capacitive or inductive devices MUST BE removed from the pair.

For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges and proper installation techniques, please call (800) 528-4343 for technical assistance.
