The AVO-V1A2-F balun transmits composite
baseband video and audio signals via unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable, such as Cat 5. It is con-
nected to the structured cabling via a modular wall
jack in the work area. It is equipped with a BNC 75
ohm connector and two standard RCA phono jacks
at one end, as well as an RJ45 jack at the other end.
Applications include: security/surveillance
monitoring, video bulletin boards, financial
information services, news services, education, video
training, airport displays, video capture, stock exchange, hotels, and convention centers.
To install an AVO-V1A2-F balun, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the video equipment by following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Make certain that outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the AVO-
V1A2-F are configured properly and labeled appropriately to identify the circuit.
3. Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other LAN or telephony
equipment.
4. Connect the RCA inputs from the source equipment to one of the two baluns. Two
AVO-V1A2-Fs are needed—one at each end of the run—and are interchangeable.
5. Connect a 4-pair Cat 5 cable from the RJ45 8-position modular jack of the AVO-
V1A2-F to a structured cable, such as Cat 5.
6. Connect the second balun’s RCA inputs to the destination equipment.
7. Connect the 4-pair Cat 5 cable from the RJ45 8-position modular jack of another
AVO-V1A2-F to the structured cable attached to the first balun.
8. Power on the source and destination equipment and test for correct operation.
Installation
Caution: Do not attempt to open the balun housing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the AVO-V1A2-F. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
Caution: Do not mount the balun over equipment ventilation openings. Covering the
openings may cause the equipment to overheat.

Caution: Do not connect the AVO-V1A2-F to a telecommunication outlet
wired to unrelated equipment. Making such a connection may damage
the equipment and/or balun. Please ensure all wiring is “straight-
through.”
