Cost effective  Modules connect with inexpensive CAT-5 cable

The VBC Composite Audio-Video Balun Kit provides a pair of active baluns for sending composite video and line-level stereo audio signals over a single CAT-5 cable. This allows signals to travel longer distances without degradation or interference than with traditional coaxial cable solutions.

The kit can be used to connect a remote source to a multiroom audio-video controller or TV. It can also be used to send the output of a video distribution device to a TV or A/V receiver.

The VBC kit includes a CTX Transmitter module, a CRX Receiver module and a power supply. Active circuitry in the transmitter automatically adjusts the output level to compensate for the cable length, thus eliminating signal loss up to 1000 feet (305 m).
