RJ45 Video and Power Baluns
The Haydon RJ45 video and power baluns are the most convenient way to connect analogue CCTV cameras to a recorder using a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
The baluns can be used to transmit video and AC or DC power over a Category 5e or 6 Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors on each end.
The distance that the baluns are effective over varies depending on the camera resolution, the video format and the camera voltage. The table below help calculate the distance you can expect to get but as a quick example, a typical 12 volt fixed lens CCTV camera using TVI such as a Hikvision dome camera will operate with video and power at up to 75 metres.
RJ45 Balun Distance Table
The table below gives examples of expected distances achievable using our HD RJ45 video and power baluns.
The calculations are based on use of a 12VDC power supply
| Video format | HD-TVI (eg. Hikvision) |
HD-CVI (eg. Dahua) |
AHD |
| Voltage at the device | 9.8VDC | 8.8VDC | 10.2VDC |
| Distance for video & power 400mA device (eg. Fixed IR camera) |
>5MP @ 75m | >8MP @ 115m | >5MP @ 50m |
| Distance for video & power 1000mA device (eg. Small PTZ camera) |
>5MP @ 20m |
>8MP @ 30m | >5MP @ 25m |
| Distance for video only | 250m @ 720p 250m @ 1080p 250m @ 3MP 180m @ 4MP 180m @ 5MP |
440m @ 720p 250m @ 1080p 200m @ 3MP 200m @ 4MP 200m @ 8MP 4K |
320m @ 720p 250m @ 1080p 200m @ 3MP 200m @ 4MP 180m @ 5MP |
