Does this device require power if used for POE cameras?
Asked by: Roy
This will not transmit any POE. This is meant to convert a COAX signal and allow you to transmit the signal over Cat5.

Can this device be connected to a router?
Asked by: Jack
The MuxLab 500302-2PK CATV Balun II (2-Pack), BH #MUCATVB22PK, cannot be connected to a router. It is designed for converting analog TV and broadband video signals from a coaxial cable to a Cat5 or 6 cable. Not the reverse. To convert Ethernet to coaxial, you can use the ASUS MA-25 MoCA 2.5 Coax to Ethernet Adapter (2-Pack), BH #ASMA252PK, found here: http://bit.ly/46d3W7y.
