BCS-P-UA111-G Passive Video Balun - 8MP 4K AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS over UTP

For security installers and IT technicians who need to deploy analog CCTV cameras over existing network cabling, the BCS-P-UA111-G passive video balun is a practical solution. It converts a BNC video signal to a UTP (twisted pair) signal, allowing you to run video and power over a single Ethernet cable for distances up to 300 meters. This compact device is ideal for retrofitting or expanding surveillance systems without the need to pull heavy and expensive coaxial cable.

Key specifications

• Passive design requires no external power supply
• Supports 1 channel of video
• Compatible with AHD, TVI, CVI, and CVBS video formats
• Resolution support up to 8MP (4K)
• Maximum transmission distance: 400m for CVBS, 300m for AHD 720p, 250m for AHD/TVI/CVI 1080p, and 150m for 8MP signals
• Transmits video and power over UTP (Power over UTP)
• BNC male video connector and screw terminal UTP connector
• Surge protection up to 6kV
• ESD protection: 8kV contact / 15kV air

Why choose it

This balun simplifies CCTV installations by leveraging twisted-pair cabling, which is often already present in office buildings and residential settings. Its passive operation ensures zero power consumption and high reliability, while the screw terminal block allows for fast and secure termination without special tools. With support for the latest HD analog formats, it future-proofs your security infrastructure.

Ideal use cases

• Extending analog CCTV camera connections over long distances in commercial buildings
• Retrofitting security systems into structures with existing Ethernet wiring
• Connecting DVRs to remote cameras in industrial, retail, or residential environments
• Replacing damaged or outdated coaxial cables with cost-effective UTP

Good to know

As a passive balun, it does not amplify the signal; actual transmission distance depends on cable quality and video format. For best results, use high-quality twisted-pair cable and avoid routing near high-voltage sources. Always use a matching balun at the opposite end of the link. The compact housing and BNC connector make it compatible with most cameras and DVRs.
