BCS BCS-ZA4802 4-Channel Passive Video Balun Transceiver for AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS over UTP, Black

Running four analog or HD-over-coax cameras across a building, parking lot, or warehouse often means wrestling with bulky coaxial trunk lines. The BCS BCS-ZA4802 eliminates that hassle by letting you connect up to four BNC cameras to a single Cat5e/6 UTP cable run. This passive balun hub is a favorite among CCTV installers and system integrators who value clean, cost-effective cabling for both new builds and retrofits.

Why choose it

This balun transceiver simplifies your cabling infrastructure by converting unbalanced BNC video signals to balanced signals that travel over twisted-pair UTP. Because it is passive, there are no power supplies to mount or configure – just plug in your cameras and connect the RJ45 to your switch or receiver. The built-in surge protection helps safeguard your equipment from voltage spikes, and the compact ABS housing is durable enough for wall or rack mounting.

Ideal use cases

• Multi-camera surveillance in commercial buildings
• Parking lot and perimeter monitoring
• Warehouse and industrial site CCTV
• Retrofitting existing analog systems to HD-over-coax
• Long-distance video transmission over UTP

Good to know

The BCS-ZA4802 is a cost-effective alternative to running multiple coaxial cables. It works with standard Cat5e/6 cables and requires no configuration. Note that maximum transmission distances depend on the video format and cable quality; use solid copper UTP for best results.
