Description:
Video balun with pigtail coax and male BNC for
operation with other baluns or active receivers.
The VB31M video balun is a video transmission device
which converts coaxial signals into UTP signals. The
unit provides a low cost means of sending live video
over unshielded twisted pair, point-to-point wiring for
distances of up to 750 feet (152 meters) with other passive
baluns, up to 1,500 feet (457 meters) with TR515 single
channel and model 51 series hubs, and up to 3,000 feet
(914 meters) with TR560 and model 56 series hubs.
The VB31M is compatible with all of the “up-the-coax”
control systems. A basic system uses (2) video balun
transceivers, one at each end of a twisted pair of wires.
These units are intended for use over existing in-house
telephone wiring, Category 5 wiring or other twisted
pair cable runs to provide a convenient, cost-effective
alternative to coax. The VB31M is designed to provide
superior immunity from noise and interference even when
running next to line power! The VB31M also provides a
unique mounting tab and strain relief.
Features:
- RJ45 jack connection for twisted pair
- Quality video over ordinary twisted pair cable
- Immunity to noise and interference
- Passive devices - do not require power
- Mini-coax pigtail for in-camera or dome mounting
- Weather resistant design
- Easier to install than coax
- Compatible with all twisted pair equipped cameras,
enclosures and domes

Wire and Cable Recommendations
The VB31M 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. For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges and proper installation techniques, please call (800) 528-4343 for technical assistance.

Applications:
- Intra-building CCTV installations (instead of coaxial cable)
- Structured cabling (Cat wiring) environments
- To eliminate requirement for Plenum Coax
- Multi-camera applications through conduit (more cameras through a smaller diameter)
