Installation Notes
Use one compatible balun hub at each end of a dedicated four-pair UTP cable. Connect channels 1–4 consistently at both ends. The RJ45 and terminal block are alternative wiring methods for the same four-channel link; do not connect the RJ45 port to an Ethernet switch or IP network.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CT-VBHD-4H require power?
No. It is a passive, non-amplified video transceiver.
How many CCTV channels does it carry?
It carries four compatible video channels through one CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable link.
Can I use both the RJ45 and terminal block at the same time?
They are alternative UTP connection methods. Choose the connection that matches the installation.
Is the RJ45 port an Ethernet network port?
No. It carries dedicated CCTV balun signals and must not be connected to a network switch.
