will this work with active Cat 5 Baluns?

I Doubt it. I didn't try a simple Balun - rather I used the powered Tripp Lite B126-1A1 HDMI Over Cat5 Active Extender Kit TAA/GSA and I can assure you that it doesn't work with that. However that particular HDMI extender is great since the sending end has an integrated HDMI Splitter. These IR extenders do work over a simple HDMI Cable. Knowing that they use the CAT 5 Pairs like a Power over Ethernet injector does I suspect it will not work with a simple Balun also since the differential signals across the pairs are cancelled out in transformers (Baluns). There are active extenders that also include IR Extender features - like the Monoprice 110224 or Monoprice HDMI w/Ethernet & IR Extender Over Cat5e/Cat6 Cable. Also if you simply want to extend the IR independently there are lots of other choices.

I'm just a buyer like you. Did some research and all I can say is 'maybe'. I would contact the manufacturer.

Yes I think you should be able to. I have cat 5 from my cable modem to it and run wireless off of it throughout my business, and I run my wireless security cams through it.

It cannot be used through a network switch. The cat 5/6 has to be directly attached the unit.

I will have to check. Only one end needs to be powered. We were using them for sending POS DATA back to a pc, ended up pulling them out and installing a serial over cat5 instead to clear up some intermittent issues we were having. You may not have any trouble with them we had kind of a special setup I think is why we had issues.

from the research that I did, it certainly looks like that. The same tools can be found in a different kit on amazon.com for both Cat5 and Cat6.

As long as you connect the positive and negative correctly to two separate wires within the CAT5 you should be fine, the 3 1/2 mm Jack will have a way of separating positive and negative when you open it up just like everything else

It should, but you can def. have performance loss when using a coupler with cat5 in general.

You can use either. I use cat 5 with video baluns and power adapter (pig tails) wired to the cat 5.

It should light up upon receiving and sending a signal on both ends check to make sure your cat 5 cables are not swapped make sure each cable goes to the same port on both units the the receiver is plugged and and that all sending and receing scources our powered on

Yes, any CAT5 cable should be compatible with that setup. CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 are all basically the same thing, just added speed and functionality.

Yes, use the 568B. 568A is an older standard. You always want to match your patch panel, Cat5 jacks, and patch cables. In this case 568B.

I think you're asking if this will work with Power Over Ethernet (POE) adapters. The answer is No. POE switches, routers and adapters operate in a totally different way. This unit is designed to be used with a single ethernet cable run between the transmitter balun and the receiver balun. The ethernet cable should NOT be connected to anything else but these two baluns. The difference is that these are analog and POE is digital. It wouldn't work.

Yes you can use cat5 with them. They are rated for cat6 though so you can go higher with your cabling.

I do not see any reason you couldn't use it. Cat 6 is just a higher speed cable because it has more twists. Cat 5&6 use the same rj45 connector. They also have the same amount of conductors.

Cat 5 is fine...they work great..if u need to bnc...just get the adapters. Fyi... Revo's people are excellent..

No and yes. This system uses a dual (Siamese) cable for the cameras. One is a coax used for the video signal, and the other is a two pair for power. The system comes with the cables. If you really have to use your cat 5 wiring, you could try something like this:12x Camera CCTV BNC CAT5 Video Balun Transceiver Cablebut I have had pretty mixed results with the baluns in general.

Im pretty sure you could because CAT5 and 6 have the same connectors. The only problem I could think of is if you have really high data transfer ratesbut this may not be rated for CAT6 speeds but it should still work.
