MuxLab 500306-2PK 2 Pack Shielded CATV Balun

The MuxLab 500306-2PK 2-Pack Shielded CATV Baluns are a great solution for terrestrial RF setups. These baluns let you swap out RG6 coaxial cables with Cat 5e/6/7 STP or UTP cables. When used in pairs, they integrate broadband CATV equipment into structured cabling, allowing you to easily move or add CATV devices to any modular wall outlet. Using shielded twisted pair cable with these baluns provides better RF amplification and longer distances with less EMI/RFI interference compared to the CATV Balun II (500302). Key features include up to 900 MHz bandwidth for Internet and digital cable, support for Cat5e/6/7 STP and UTP, a design that fits side - by - side on most RF splitters, reduced EMI/RFI when using STP, a cast aluminum enclosure for top - notch EMI/RFI shielding, and low insertion loss.

Using these MuxLab CATV baluns is easy. First, make sure you have two baluns as they need to be used in pairs. Replace your RG6 coaxial cable with Cat 5e/6/7 STP or UTP cable. Connect one balun to your CATV equipment and the other to the relevant part of the structured cabling system. They can be placed side - by - side on most RF splitters. When using, note that if you want better performance in terms of RF amplification and less interference, use shielded twisted pair cable. For maintenance, keep the baluns in a dry place and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. Wipe them clean with a dry cloth if they get dirty. Don't try to open the cast aluminum enclosure on your own as it's designed for maximum EMI/RFI shielding and opening it might affect the performance.
