Passive Composite Video Baluns
The ENFORCER Composite Video Baluns are the quick, low-cost way to connect composite or
component (YPbPr) video devices at greater distances than traditional video cabling methods. The
video baluns work in pairs to allow video signals to be transmitted up to 2,230’ (680m) over
low-cost Cat5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable instead of costly composite video cable.
•
Passive operation – No external power
required
• Uses low-cost Cat5e/6 cable instead of costly
composite video cables
• Small size for easy installation behind most
video devices
•
High immunity from interference – Built-in
impedance coupled device and noise filter
• Gold-plated connector for longer 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.

Overview:
Installation:
1. Make sure the maximum distance between the video
source and display does not exceed the maximum range of
the video baluns.
2. Run the UTP cable from the video source to where it will
be connected to the display destination.
3. Connect UTP cable to the two video baluns.
For standard baluns slide the cover off of the video balun
and connect two wires to the terminal block located inside
the balun. See figure 1.
4. 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. Plug the video baluns into the RCA
connectors on the source and destination.
NOTE: The baluns are polarity-sensitive. Observe
correct polarity.
Wire Exit Holes
NOTE: Composite baluns are connected in pairs. One connects to the video source RCA
output connector, and the other connects to the video destination RCA input connector.
