GunRunner1 0 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) I need to get some more coax. I'm going to run 3 150' cables inside of black plastic pipe underground. Is rg-59 o.k. or what? What do you think about this Balun NV-208A-M Passive? (Spec. Attached) Would allow me to attach The brand is NTV. Or make recomendations. Thanks Edited August 19, 2007 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeromephone 6 Posted August 16, 2007 you might want to run underground rated as you will get some condensation in the under ground pipe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunRunner1 0 Posted August 19, 2007 what about running Cat5? I don't know how to do it but I'm hereing others talk about it . Can someone explain to me how its done? Baluns is that something you attach to each end? Do they have bnc conector on them? Which one are good ones? Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GunRunner1 0 Posted August 19, 2007 If I use Cat 5 cables with Baluns. For camera, til/pan unit, zoom lense. This will be attached to my garage 150' away from my DVR. Should I use Baluns that carry the 24vac. and runit from my house or Baluns that don't carry voltage and power them from my garage? (has a seperate AC power connection from power company. I'm tring to figure out the best way to do this. I haven't bought the rg cable and I'm running Cat 5 for the tilt/pan controls. So it will probaly be best to go Cat 5 on everything?

DDSC2060 0 Posted September 6, 2007 I like RG59 with 18'2 power for under ground conduit situations. The baluns are cool. Most of them have terminated inputs for cat5 and it creates less work for you. I am not sure how the distance will work out for you on a balun compared to a RG59. Unless the balun has a good impedence strengthner to boost up the signal. If so then role with the Balun. I think some of these baluns now will let you pass power through them too. -chad b- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
