Intelix RF Broadband Video Balun
Installation Manual Installation Manual Installation Manual Installation Manual Installation Manual
The Intelix RF balun passively transmits broadband (RF) video over unshielded twisted
pair cabling, such as Cat 5. Used in pairs, the RF transmits video up to 330 feet, providing
a low-cost, versatile cabling solution which uses a building’s existing structured cabling
system.
The RF is ideal for private RF networks, guestroom TV and internet services, apartments
and condominiums, schools and universities, and corporate audio/visual environments.
The RF is designed for point-to-point connections only.
To install an RF 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 RF
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 video input from the source equipment to one of the two baluns. Two
RF’s are needed—one at each end of the run—and are interchangeable.
5. Connect a 4-pair structured cable, such as Cat 5, to the RJ45 connector on the
balun.
6. Connect the second balun’s video input to the destination equipment.
7. Connect the 4-pair structured cable attached to the first balun to the RJ45
connector on the second 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 RF. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
Caution: Do not connect the RF 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.”
Caution: Do not mount the balun over equipment ventilation openings. Covering the
openings may cause the equipment to overheat.

Note: When first powering on the source and destination equipment or
switching video through the balun, there may be a 2-3 second delay
followed by 12 seconds of yellow video. This is normal operation and
the result of the balun correctly syncing to the monitor.
