Overview

1.1. Description

The Active CCTV Receiver Balun (Active Balun) allows CCTV video signals to be transmitted up to 1 mile (1.6 km) via a Category 5E/6 twisted pair cable when used in conjunction with MuxLab’s passive CCTV Balun (500000 or 500009) at the camera end. The Active Balun features Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Ground Loop Blocking (GLB) for reliable and stable image quality. Once installed, no adjustments to the Active Balun are needed.

The Active Balun automatically adjusts the brightness, sharpness and color intensity of the video signal based on the actual cable conditions such as cable grade, distance, environmental effects on the cable, etc. Once installed, there is no further need to go on-site to check the video signal. Any further enhancements to the image may be made at the camera, monitor, multiplexer or DVR. The product requires a 24V, 2W AC power supply (not included) and connects directly to the video multiplexer or switcher. It features screw terminals with built-in strain relief for ease of installation.
