BCS ULTRA BCS-U-CFA Passive Video Balun Adapter for CCTV Cameras (BNC to UTP, 8MP 4K, 400m)

Unlike generic CCTV baluns, the BCS ULTRA BCS-U-CFA is engineered specifically for BCS ULTRA Series cameras, delivering uncompromised video integrity over standard UTP cable. This passive adapter converts a BNC coaxial output to a push-pin terminal block, enabling cost-effective long-distance transmission without external power. Supporting AHD, HDCVI, HDTVI, and CVBS signals up to 8MP (4K UHD), it handles everything from legacy analog to modern HD-over-coax systems. Built-in ESD and surge protection safeguard your equipment, while the ABS housing ensures durability in demanding installations.

Highlights

• Passive design – no external power required
• Supports AHD, HDCVI, HDTVI, and CVBS up to 8MP (4K UHD)
• Transmits up to 400m for HDCVI 1080p, 250m for HDTVI/AHD 1080p, and 200m for HDCVI 8MP
• BNC male input to push-pin terminal block output
• 75 Ohm coaxial / 100 Ohm UTP impedance matching
• ESD and surge protection built in
• Compact ABS plastic housing, operating temperature -10°C to 50°C

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: connect the BNC male end to your camera's video output, then terminate the UTP Cat5e/6 cable into the push-pin terminal block. The balun's passive circuitry maintains signal integrity over long runs, reducing the need for expensive coaxial cable. Its robust ABS housing and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor (within specified limits) surveillance setups. The single-channel design is ideal for point-to-point camera connections.
