• Quality video over ordinary twisted pair cable
• Built-in surge suppression
• Immunity to noise and interference
• Built-in video loss detection
• Video & P/T/Z over a single pair (with up-the-coax systems)
• RJ45 or push terminals for easy connection

Applications:

• Structured cabling (Cat5) environments
• Multi-camera applications through conduit (more cameras through a smaller diameter)

Wire and Cable Recommendations

The Nitek video balun is recommended for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The systems will operate over wire gauges from 26 AWG through 12 AWG. Category 2, 3, 4 or 5 cable 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.
