Overview
1.1. Description
The LongReach II Active CCTV Receiver Balun (500124) allows
one (1) analog CCTV video signal 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 baluns (i.e. 500000,
500009, 500024) at the camera end. The 500124 features
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Ground Loop Isolation (GLI)
for reliable and stable image quality. Once installed, no
adjustments to the 500124 are needed. The 500124 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 or DVR . The product requires a 5VDC, 6 Watt power
supply (included) and connects directly to the DVR or switcher.
The 500124 also allows video, remote power and 2-wire PTZ
control to be combined over Cat5e/6 cable and features ground
loop isolation (GLI) for optimum video transmission. The 500124
also features surge protection for more reliable operation.
