Product Description
The CAT5e to BNC Male Power Plug Balun Connector Adapter for CCTV Cameras (SKU WIRE-TO-MALE-BNC-PLUG-RED-PRO) puts a male BNC connector on one end and stripped wires on the other, in red. It is a termination part for CAT5e-based CCTV runs where a camera, monitor or recorder presents a BNC socket.
Jobs it suits
It is listed for indoor and outdoor CCTV installations, so one part covers both sides of a job: shop floors and stockrooms in retail premises, loading areas on warehouses, office corridors, and communal entrances in residential blocks. On multi-camera schedules, the red colour-coding lets you keep one colour per signal type and trace runs quickly at the rack or in a junction box.
Selection factors
- Camera/recorder end: male BNC, so it mates with a female BNC socket. It will not connect to another male plug.
- Cable end: stripped wires, terminated by hand onto your cable run.
- Cable range: described as compatible with a wide range of CCTV cables.
- Build: durable construction.
A balun converts between twisted-pair cable such as CAT5e and coaxial-style BNC video connections, so check the socket type at each device before you order for the job.
