NITEK Trasmettitore/ricevitore passivo a due fili Video/tensione BNC RJ-45 - BNC

Transmit full-motion colour video up to 400 metres and monochrome up to 600 metres over standard Cat5e/6 cable with this passive balun pair. No external power required — just plug in and extend your CCTV signal with zero configuration.

Overview

The NITEK VB31-PT is a passive video and power balun kit that converts a 75-ohm BNC coaxial signal to 100-ohm balanced twisted pair and back again. It supports all standard analogue formats (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) as well as HD analogue signals including AHD, HD-CVI and HD-TVI up to 1080p. The transmitter and receiver pair are compact, ABS-housed units with a BNC male connector on one end and an RJ-45 female jack on the other, making them ideal for retrofit installations where coaxial cable is impractical or too costly.

What stands out

• Passive operation — no power supply needed, reducing points of failure and installation cost.
• Extended range: colour video up to 400 m, monochrome up to 600 m, and HD 1080p up to 200 m over Cat5e/6.
• Built-in surge and ESD protection safeguards connected equipment from electrical transients.
• Supports both legacy analogue and modern HD analogue cameras, future-proofing your system.
• Compact and lightweight design with ABS housing for easy mounting in tight spaces.

Our verdict

For installers and integrators, the NITEK VB31-PT is a no-brainer: it eliminates the need for expensive coax runs, works with virtually any analogue or HD camera, and its passive design means one less thing to troubleshoot. The built-in surge protection is a welcome bonus for outdoor or industrial environments.
