What it is:

VGA baluns allow extension of the range between CCTV video sources such as PCs, digital video recorders, or

video splitters, and CCTV video destinations such as CRT / LCD monitors or video projectors.  The range is up to

450 feet (137m). The connection is via low-cost Cat 5 or Cat 5E shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable with shielded

RJ-45 connectors. This allows the monitor or projector to be easily installed on a security professional's desk while

the video devices are locked securely in a separate room.
