MuxLab 500306 Overview

The Shielded CATV Balun from MuxLab allows you to transmit terrestrial RF signals via a single UTP or CAT5e/6/7 STP cable. When used in pairs, this balun allows you to integrate your RF sources such as the Internet and digital cable with a more efficient CAT-structured cabling system. The balun allows you to replace a coaxial cable with a single CAT5e/6/7 cable and supports high-amplified RF signals. In addition, the balun is capable of achieving transmissions up to a distance of 330’ (100 m).

The cast-aluminum enclosure reduces EMI / RFI egress that minimizes the drop in signal strength, making the CATV Balun useful for long distance transmissions. When used in conjunction with other MuxLab CATV Hubs (500300/303), the Shielded CATV Balun simplifies routing solutions and is suitable for use in commercial and home A/V systems.

Great Products

I get what I ordered on time and it does the job.

Good product, but limited usage

A well built product, however explanation of purpose and product limitations should be much clearer. Useful for terrestrial RF and potentially CCTV, but will not work for digital cable transmission.
