VB39M Video Balun Transceivers with Surge Protection for Twisted Pair up to 750 feet (228 meters)
     
Revision Number:
041403

Description:
Video balun transceivers for twisted pair up to 750 feet. Two types are available. The basic VB37 model and the VB39 with built-in surge suppression for added equipment protection.

Video balun transceiver is a video transmission device that provides a low cost means of sending live video over unshielded twisted pair, point-to-point wiring for distances of up to 750 feet (228 meters). The VB37 and VB39 are compatible with all of the “up-the-coax” control systems.

A basic system uses (2) VB37 or (2) VB39 units, 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 VB37 and VB39 are designed to provide superior immunity from noise and interference even when running next to line power!

Features:

  • Quality video over ordinary twisted pair cable
  • Immunity to noise and interference
  • Built-in surge suppression on VB39 models
  • Passive devices - do not require power
  • Video & P/T/Z over a single pair (with “up-the-coax”
    systems)
  • M - version mounts directly to camera or video source
  • Weatherproof design
  • Easier to install than coax

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Two VB37 devices M or F in any combination are required for transmission over a single UTP.

Wire and Cable Recommendations

The VB37 and VB39 are 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.
