SURGE Passive Audio/Video/Power Balun Coax Cat5 RJ45 UTP

Q) What distances can be used for passive balun pairs and active balun pairs?

Lightning is the most common source of electrical disturbance totelecommunication lines. There are 865,000 lightning strikes each dayworldwide. Our surge-protected baluns are designed to prevent excessvoltage from damaging components on a CCTV video system. Althoughsurge-protected baluns will aid in minimizing the spread of damagecaused from a lightning strike, be advised that there is only limitedprotection: 2000 volts (passive) to 4000 volts (grounded active). Adirect hit from a lightning bolt will incinerate practically anything.

A) The majority of all surge-induced damage is caused by surges andspikes traveling along unprotected video, data and power lines. Thesesurges originate from a wide variety of sources, including staticcharge buildup and lightning strikes. Left unprotected, video and datalines expose cameras, digital video recorders, network video storagedevices, monitors, A/V components, and other network equipment todamaging electrical transients.

Q) Why choose a surge-protected baluns with TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors)?

52 ohms per 1,000 ft

Differential Capacitance:

6000V

DC Loop Resistance:
