Troubleshooting:

No sound

• Check to make sure polarity is correct

• Make sure the maximum distance of the UTP does not exceed the

maximum range of the balun

• Make sure all connections are snugly in place

• Make sure the RJ-45 connector is wired according to T568B wiring

Passive Digital and Analog Audio Baluns

The ENFORCER Passive Audio Baluns are the quick, low-cost way to connect audio devices at
greater distances than traditional audio cabling methods. The audio baluns work in pairs to allow
digital and analog audio signals to be transmitted over low-cost Cat5e/6 unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable instead of costly coax cable.

•

Passive operation – No external power

required

• Uses low-cost Cat5e/6 cable instead of costly
coax cables

• Small size for easy installation

•

High immunity from interference – Built-in

impedance coupled device and noise filter

• Gold-plated connector for lon

g

er life and better

reliability

• Limited lifetime warranty

NOTE: Products with a model number that ends with “Q” or have a round green “Q” sticker represent RoHs compliant products.

1. Make sure the maximum distance between the audio
source and destination does not exceed the maximum
range of the audio baluns.

2. Run the UTP cable from the audio source to where it will be
connected to the destination. Follow the audio source’s
wiring instructions for information on how to safely run and
hide this wire.

3. Connect UTP cable to the two audio baluns.
For standard baluns slide the cover off of the audio balun
and connect two wires to the terminal block located inside
the balun. See figure 1.
For the correct length of bare wire, see figure 3 on page 3.
For snap-in baluns connect the RJ 45 plug according to
T568B wiring standards as shown above.

NOTE: The baluns are polarity-sensitive. Observe
correct polarity.

Wire Exit Holes

NOTE: Audio baluns are connected in pairs. One connects to the audio source RCA output

connector, and the other connects to the audio destination RCA input connector.
