Cat 5 cable has become increasingly popular for CCTV installations. It is easy to install and produces excellent results with clear video signals over considerable distances with the use of Video Baluns. This newly developed Cat5-CCTV cable has been jointly developed for CCTV use by a major cable manufacturer to provide superb results in video signal transmission. Featuring quality copper cores, it can often outperform standard computer Cat5 producing a better picture quality and longer cable runs. To allow a more discreet cabling option, the cable is available in both white and black sheathing. Standard CCTV cables such as RG59 are classed as an "unbalanced" mode of video transmission whereas Cat5 twisted pair cable is known as a balanced mode. In this balanced mode, the two cores carrying the video signal are balanced to a particular reference point and the cable twists enable a uniformed rejection of interference, effectively cancelling it out. To produce a balanced signal, equipment known as BALUNs are used, standing for BALanced to UN balanced. Passive and active Video Baluns are available in our On Line store.
