MuxLab's CCTV Pass-Thru/GLI Balun Helps Resolve Ground Loop Issues

Montreal, Canada - MuxLab Inc., designer and manufacturer of CCTV and audio-video connectivity solutions, announces its latest product for the CCTV security and surveillance industry...VideoEase CCTV Pass-Thru/GLI Balun (500132).

Developed in conjunction with CCTV systems installers, the Pass-Thru/GLI Balun allows remote power, PTZ control and video to be connected to the CCTV camera via one Cat5 cable and also has ground loop isolation.

Designed for applications where there is a possibility of ground voltage differential, the Pass-Thru/GLI Balun features three (3) connectors that break out the 24VAC, PTZ and video signals and isolates ground loops with voltage differentials up to 50VDC. The product is installed either at the DVR or camera end in conjunction with another standard CCTV balun.

A slide-switch allows the balun to be set to pass-thru or power-thru mode depending on whether a fixed or PTZ camera is installed. Remote 12VDC or 24VAC (Class II) power is supported via two (2) or three (3) twisted pairs depending whether the balun is set to pass-thru or power-thru mode. Longer distances may be achieved at 28VAC. Remote 2-wire PTZ control (i.e.; RS422) is supported via one (1) twisted pair and video is supported via one (1) twisted pair.

Fully compatible with other MuxLab CCTV baluns, the Pass-Thru/GLI Balun follows TIA-568 wiring standards and features a pin configuration label directly on the product for ease of installation.
