PV880 Series    
Broadband Video Baluns

  Broadband video (CATV) over UTP, once thought to be impractical (or impossible), is now commonplace, due to the use of the PV880 Series of Broadband Video Baluns from ETS. Commercial and professional grade video can be transmitted over Category 5 and better UTP.

  Distance is a function of frequency and signal level. Using Category 5 or better cable, all channels up to 26, at a drive level of not more than 36dBmV will accommodate 100 meters. The usable distance is reduced at higher channels, reaching 50 meters at channel 78.

APPLICATION NOTE:
Off-air channel 26 is 542MHz to 548MHz. CATV enables packing channels into unused on-air frequencies.

PV884, PV885, PV888, PV889    
ULTRA Broadband Video Baluns

  Expanding the applications opened by its Broadband Video Baluns, ETS introduces the PV884 and PV885 - ULTRA Broadband Video Baluns. Frequency range has been increased and EMI reduced, both due to enhanced filtering and an all-metal enclosure.

  FCC requirements preclude boosting signal levels to the values required to guarantee preset distances. Distance achievable is a function of signal level, balance and the degree to which the cable used unbalances the signal. Cat5e maintains signal balance at least 5dB better than Cat5.  Level 7 or equivalent cable is another 5dB better, providing for a signal drive level of not more than 46dBmV.

  The PV884 offers a BNC connector for use with professional grade equipment. "Prosumer" and consumer electronics that connect using 'F' connectors require the ETS PV885 or PV888 baluns.
