OVERVIEW
Coaxial video cable is expensive. The farther you have to run it,
the bigger the bite it takes out of your budget.

Tw
its impedance and signal characteristics dier 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
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
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
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 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 ecient 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 scre
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

CCTV Quad Audio Balun (IC565A)
Transmit up to four analogue 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.
