Product Description
A passive video balun converts a coax-style HD-TVI, AHD or CVI signal to run over twisted-pair cable instead — the Prolux Push-In Balun is built for exactly that job on analog and HD analog CCTV installs.
What it's for
It suits jobs where you're re-using structured cabling or want to avoid pulling fresh coax — offices, retail units, warehouses and residential blocks with existing Cat5e or Cat6 runs. Pair one at the camera end and one at the DVR end to complete a twisted-pair video link.
Key specs
- Signal types: HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and standard analog CCTV

- Type: passive (no external power needed)

Selection notes
Because it's passive, there's no power supply to spec or fault-find later — one less point of failure on a long cable run. Check your camera and DVR both support HD-TVI, AHD or CVI at the resolution you're running before ordering, and confirm the cable pulled is genuine Cat5e/Cat6 UTP rather than a lower-grade cable, since transmission distance depends on cable quality.

It's designed for Cat5e or Cat6 UTP cable, using push-in terminals at the balun end and BNC at the camera or DVR end.
What resolutions and signal types does it support?
It supports HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and standard analog CCTV signals up to 1080p resolution.
Is one balun enough per camera run?
You need a balun at each end of the twisted-pair run — one at the camera and one at the DVR — to complete the video link.
