WHAT IT IS
The EVT-TB1-42T and EVT-RB1-4T2 active video baluns are the quick, low-cost way to connect CCTV cameras to a monitor, multiplexer, or video recorder at up to 1.5 miles (2,400 meters) away for monochrome cameras, or up to 1 mile (1,500 meters) away for color cameras.
The baluns allow a CCTV camera’s video signal to be transmitted over low-cost Cat 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable instead of costly coax cable. They are suitable for full-motion color and monochrome cameras.
FEATURES
!Active operation – The transmitter amplifies the video signal for excellent picture quality at long distances.
!Transmits video signal up to 1.5 miles (2.4km).
!Also transmits either PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) data or low voltage (12-14 VAC/VDC) to CCTV cameras.
!Uses low-cost Cat 5e unshielded twisted pair cable instead of costly coaxial cable.
!Includes BNC connectors and removable terminal blocks
–No need to waste time crimping RJ-45 connectors.
!High immunity from interference
–Built-in impedance coupled device and noise filter.
!Easy installation. Removable terminal blocks.
!Transmitter has DC output for remote CCTV cameras or peripherals.
!Power can also be sent from a central location to remote sites using the transmitter and receiver.
!Includes 12VDC power adapters.
!Gold-plated BNC connectors.
!Surge protection on video signal. Ground lifting and transient protection.

Note 1: Output depends on adapter used. The transmitter uses 40mA. So a 12VDC, 500mA adapter gives 12VDC, 460mA through this output, or a 24VDC, 500mA adapter gives 24VDC, 460mA through this output.
IMPORTANT: Test output before connecting to camera or other device.
Note 2: Can also be used to transfer 12~24 VAC/VDC. See fig. 5.
