there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telephone reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables are required to connect this device to
other Class B certified devices.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.

CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
With pairs of Video CATV Baluns, you can transmit broadband cable TV (CATV),
VHF TV, or FM radio signals across Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable, which is already wired into most commercial sites. The balun near the video
source takes a single CATV or other signal from 75-ohm coaxial cable, converts it,
and transmits it over UTP cable to the other balun, which puts it back on coax and
sends it to its destination. This lets you place or move your CATV equipment
anywhere you have a modular wall outlet.
The Video CATV Balun is designed for use with modular equipment and flexible
configurations. Compatible devices include TV monitors, CATV splitters,
amplifiers, cable modems, videocassette recorders, radio tuners, and other
broadband video and radio equipment, but the typical application is connecting a
CATV splitter or amplifier to a TV monitor. (Note that although the baluns are
designed for point-to-point connections only, you can use separate pairs of baluns
to extend multipoint output from CATV splitters, etc.) The baluns are ideal for the
type of broadband video systems used by schools, government or corporate offices,
hospitals, financial institutions, hotels, and convention centers.
These baluns must be used in pairs.

3. Installation
To install a pair of Video CATV Baluns, follow the steps below.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to open the housings of the Video CATV Baluns. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
1. Make sure that the destination device is not too far away from the source
device (refer to the Maximum Distance specification in Chapter 1). If the
destination device is beyond the reach of the source balun, the signal the
device receives will be weak or nonexistent.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for turning off power to the
equipment you will be attaching, and for disconnecting that equipment from
AC power and from all other devices.
3. Make certain that the modular outlets and cross-connects to which you will
connect the baluns are configured properly and are labeled so that the circuit
can be identified.
CAUTION!
Do not connect the Video CATV Video Balun to a telecommunication
outlet wired to unrelated equipment. Making such a connection may
damage the equipment and/or the balun. Make sure that all wiring is
straight-through-pinned.
4. Verify that the twisted-pair circuit you want to use is not already being used
for other LAN or telephone equipment.
5. For each balun—depending on what type of equipment you are attaching it
to—either plug its BNC male connector directly into the device’s BNC female
connector, or plug the balun into a cable that runs to the device (this cable
must have a BNC female connector on the balun end).
6. Connect one end of a UTP cable to each balun’s RJ-45 modular jack, as
shown in Figure 3-1. These cables must carry at least one wire pair; these wires
must be on RJ-45 Pins 7 (ring) and 8 (tip).
Figure 3-1. Attaching UTP cable to the balun.

CHAPTER 3: Installation
7. Plug the other end of each UTP cable into the appropriate modular wall
outlet or patch panel. When this is done, a complete cabling circuit should
run between the two baluns, as shown in Figures 3-2 and 3-3.
Figure 3-2. Baluns cabled together for video distribution (not to scale).
Figure 3-3. Baluns cabled together for cable-modem extension (not to scale).
8. Reconnect and power up the source and destination equipment.
Your balun system should be ready for continuous operation.
