FEATURES
• Use CAT5 cable to connect audio/video
equipment.
• Transmit color video up to 2200 feet
(670.6 m) or black-and-white video up
to 2500 feet (762 m).
• Use the CCTV Passive Hub to send video
over one 4-pair CAT5 cable.
• CCTV Power-Through Video Baluns are
available with RJ-45 or screw terminal
connectors.
OVERVIEW
Coaxial video cable is expensive. The farther you have to
run it, the bigger the bite it takes out of your budget.
Twisted-pair cable, on the other hand, is more economical.
But its impedance and signal characteristics differ from those
of coax. You can’t just attach it directly to video inputs and
outputs.
The CCTV Passive Hubs and CCTV Video or Audio Baluns
translate your video-only, audio-only, or video-and-audio
signals for transmission over twisted pair.
CCTV Passive Hubs (IC562A–IC563A)
The hubs support NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video standards.
Two models are available: one with RJ-45 and coax connectors
(IC562A) and another with RJ-45 and 2-pole screw terminal
twisted-pair connectors (IC563A).
These 1U-high rackmount hubs work with the CCTV Mini
Coax (IC451A) and Passthrough (IC452A) Baluns.
The hubs channel video—plus remote power and 2-wire
pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control—over one 4-pair CAT5 cable.
Use the hubs to manage security cameras and other
security devices in large installations.
CCTV Video Balun, 1-Way, Video Only (IC440A)
This balun converts a single Composite baseband video
signal (such as NTSC, PAL, and SECAM) from 75-ohm coax
cable to UTP cable. The one-way, video-only connection is
ideal for connecting security cameras.
CCTV Video Balun (IC444A)
Use a pair of CCTV Video Baluns to transmit Closed-Circuit
TV (CCTV) video signals over a single CAT3 or CAT5 cable. This
balun has 2-position terminal screw locks for connection to
the twisted-pair cable.
CCTV Balun, Mini Coax (IC451A)
A pair of these baluns links twisted-pair cable between
coax devices. Typical applications include closed-circuit
cameras, DVRs, monitors, and CCTV equipment.
CCTV Balun, Passthrough (IC452A)
Send CCTV, low-voltage power, and 2-wire pan/tilt/zoom
(PTZ) signals over twisted pair between two RS-232 or RS-422
coax devices.
CCTV Power-Through Video Baluns (IC560A–IC561A)
These baluns enable you to transmit video and remote
power via a single 4-pair CAT3 or CAT5 cable. With them, you
eliminate the need for multiple cables and provide more
efficient cabling in CCTV security and surveillance
environments.
Two versions are available. The IC560A features an RJ-45
connector, and the IC561A comes with a 2-pole screw terminal.
Both baluns transmit baseband, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM
video at up to 2500 feet (762 m), plus they support 24-VAC
power via 3 twisted pairs at up to 518 feet (157.9 m) when
using 5 VA.
We recommend using a Class II power supply.
CCTV Quad Video Balun (IC564A)
Send up to four Composite video signals up to 2200 feet
(670.6 m) or Component video up to 500 feet (152.4 m) using
ordinary CAT5 cable. Supported video types include
Composite, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and 480i/p Component.
CCTV Quad Audio Balun (IC565A)
Transmit up to four analog audio signals up to 5000 feet
(152.4 m) using regular CAT5 cable.
CCTV Component Video/Digital Audio Balun (IC566A)
Link HDTV at long distances using CAT5 UTP cable. This
balun supports Component 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p video
standards and digital audio.
