MuxLab 500306 Shielded CATV Balun

The MuxLab 500306 Shielded CATV Balun is a game - changer in the terrestrial RF environment. It enables you to replace RG6 coaxial cable with Cat 5e/6/7 STP or UTP cable. When used in pairs, it integrates broadband CATV equipment into a structured cabling system, allowing you to move or add CATV equipment to any modular wall outlet easily. Using shielded twisted - pair cable, it offers greater RF amplification, longer distance coverage, and less EMI/RFI egress compared to the CATV Balun II (500302). Key features include a bandwidth of up to 900 MHz for Internet and digital cable, support for Cat5e/6/7 STP and UTP, side - by - side fitting on most RF splitters, lower EMI/RFI egress with STP, a cast aluminum enclosure for maximum shielding, and low insertion loss.

To use the MuxLab 500306 Shielded CATV Balun, first, make sure you have a pair of these baluns. Replace the RG6 coaxial cable with Cat 5e/6/7 STP or UTP cable as needed. Connect the baluns to your broadband CATV equipment and the structured cabling system. You can then move or add CATV equipment to any modular wall outlet. When using, try to use shielded twisted - pair cable for better performance. For maintenance, keep the baluns in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or physical damage. Check the connections regularly to ensure they are secure. If you notice any issues with the signal or performance, check the cables and the baluns for possible problems.
