CCTV installation accessories designed to carry HD video and DC power across UTP cabling, ensuring long-distance, low-interference feeds. Installers and DIY homeowners gain confidence from straightforward RJ45+DC+BNC hookups and clear status LEDs. Is the reliability and compatibility of Fanbalunke Passive Video Baluns right for your security system?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Signal Transmission: Gold-plated BNC with passive transmission over UTP CAT5, supports up to 2MP
- • Best for: Installers and DIY homeowners fitting multi-camera CCTV systems over UTP cabling
- • Not ideal for: Setups needing cameras above 2MP or requiring active signal amplification
Passive video baluns use gold-plated BNC connectors to transmit analogue HD video over UTP CAT5 while carrying DC power. Each RJ45-equipped balun includes an LED status indicator and is supplied in a set of five pairs.
Long-range HD feeds – thanks to gold-plated BNC passive transmission
Passive baluns convert coaxial video to differential signals for UTP CAT5 cable, preserving analogue video up to the supported resolution. Gold plating on BNC connectors improves conductivity and reduces corrosion at connection points.
Long cable runs maintain clearer video with reduced signal loss, making them suitable for distant camera locations. Expect dependable 720P/960P/1080P (up to 2MP) feeds when using quality CAT5 cabling.
Simpler installations on standard network cable – with RJ45+DC+BNC interface
The balun combines BNC video, DC power and an RJ45 connector so video and low-voltage power travel over one UTP cable. An RJ45-mounted LED shows green for working and yellow for not working, aiding quick diagnostics.
Installers save time by using existing CAT5 runs rather than new coax, and the status LED reduces troubleshooting time. Single-point connections keep neat cable runs in racks or junction boxes.
Stable, interference-resistant feeds – with passive anti-interference design
Analogue signal differential pairing and passive components reduce electromagnetic interference on UTP runs, while simultaneous transmission of frequency and DC power avoids separate power cabling. The design relies on passive balancing rather than active amplification.
Users get steady, low-noise video suitable for typical CCTV monitoring and recording. Reliability reported by installers means fewer repeat visits to restore camera links.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these baluns work with my 1080P CCTV cameras?
A: Yes. Compatible with 720P, 960P and 1080P cameras up to a maximum of 2MP and designed for CVI, TVI, CVBS and AHD systems.
Q: Can video and power be sent down the same CAT5 cable?
A: Yes. Video transmission via UTP CAT5 can carry the analogue frequency signal and DC power simultaneously using the RJ45+DC+BNC interface.
Q: How can I tell if a connection is working?
A: Use the RJ45-mounted LED indicator: green shows the link is working and yellow indicates a fault or no connection.
