Cat5 Video Baluns with power

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a reliable and cheap source for video baluns?

 

I;e seen prices from 15 to 100 bucks, but can't seem to find anybody that sells in bulk.

 

 

Thanks,

Rob

Ones we had great luck with are made by VU - http://videobaluns.com/

 

Pricing should be in the lower spectrum on what you found and yet, they work exceptionally well... Contact the manufacturer and they will make recommendation where to get their products dependent where you live...

 

Most distributors carry these baluns, so give them a try too...

Hi mate

 

Video baluns are very cheap to get a hold of. Chinese websites offer bulk orders, if you type in google images video balun, you will see quickly alot are made in china.

 

Now having used them extensively, and many types, I would say, even the most reliable ones are rubbish. It's so nice in theory, but they just simply don't work. Only in absolutely perfect conditions.

 

You start running a cable past anything electrical, have a few centimetres of untwisted pair wires and the things just collapse like a sick goat.

 

Shame, but thats the truth.
