OVERVIEW
Eliminate the expense of using coaxial cable with your
security systems. The Video PTZ Balun connects your security
or surveillance equipment using CAT3 or CAT5 twisted-pair
cable. It’s compatible with Pelco
™ Coaxitron ™ , Vicon ™ Vicoax,
Videoalarm ™ Coaxlynx ™ , and other digital coax pan, tilt, and
zoom (PTZ) security systems.
Perfect for campus and high-rise installations, the balun
spans the following distances:
• With Category 3 cable:
Color: 875 ft. (266.7 m);
B&W: 980 ft. (298.7 m)
• With Category 5 cable:
Color: 1250 ft. (381 m);
B&W: 1400 ft. (426.7 m)
Used in pairs, the balun lets you integrate CCTV security
and surveillance equipment into structured cabling systems.
You can control PTZ devices from any convenient modular
wall outlet to connect digital coax PTZ and video.
Use the baluns in your system, and you’ll have less
downtime and quicker moves, adds, and changes, as well
as neater wiring and smaller cable costs.
With a single four-pair CAT 5 cable, you can pass up to
four signals. And there’s no visible picture distortion from
crosstalk!
What’s more, the balun helps your system maintain a
steady video image when the system is idle.
Installing the balun is easy. It comes with a separate coax
lead. A handy VELCRO ® strip is also included for mounting
the balun on the wall.
