wozzzzza 0 Posted December 5, 2013 got a couple of 20M runs for analogue cameras I want to use CAT5e cable for and have these baluns http://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/dsysteven/product-detailyKXmxPdYZJWC/China-Coax-Cat5-to-Camera-CCTV-BNC-Video-Balun-Connector-CA-70AS-.html is there any particular way to wire these up with cat 5? or just grab any pair, untwist it and connect it each end.

Securame 0 Posted December 5, 2013 Those are not baluns, jus BNC connectors. Feel free to try and see if the image is good enough for you... The baluns you are looking for are on another castle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RVT 0 Posted December 5, 2013 Those *are* baluns in the original post's link. Don't know why the first responder would have said that they were not. Just make sure that you keep the polarity matched on each end when you wire them up. Positive to positive and negative to negative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted December 5, 2013 Those *are* baluns in the original post's link. Don't know why the first responder would have said that they were not. THEY ARE NOT BALUNS they are just BNC Connector, BNC Male and Screw Terminals. for DIYer who does not have BNC tools. pos is video Neg is nutral (or earth) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVT 0 Posted December 5, 2013 Those *are* baluns in the original post's link. Don't know why the first responder would have said that they were not. THEY ARE NOT BALUNS It says they are baluns in the link. Unless the translation is incorrect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted December 5, 2013 They do a similar connecting job to a real balun but don't have the BALance UNbalance circuitry like a real balun. Video will work but will look lousy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted December 6, 2013 It also says this in link Product Description Materials: Plastic and zinc alloy or copper Short line equipment Adapter uses coaxial cable convert to camera CCTV BNC twisted-pair (with no balun) No electrical tap, splicing and crimping, but only a small screw driver Coaxial cable have a better capacity of resisting disturbance good transmission quality energy-saving, high reliability and easy to assemble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVT 0 Posted December 6, 2013 So, the description is false when it says "Video Balun Connector". You have to consider the source though. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
