timmo66 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Anybody seen/used a crimp down balun? Master balun make one, whether or not they are the only ones I dont know. Personally I think its a very good idea, especially if it reduces the risk of the cat5 core snapping under a screw terminal. Not sure about time saving though if the balun costs more in the first place.
whistle Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Lol Videcon tried to sell them to me at £5.50 each, when I told them to FO as I pay £1.50 for a standard balun the dropped the price to £2.00

reidy Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Its a good idea tbh, cat5 seems to work better with IDC than screw terminals, lol at £5.50 though Hey Ho, Lets Go
RichL Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 http://www.videcon.co.uk/product_details.php?StockID=1572 Can't see much strain relief going on? I like it too, but can see how lack of strain relief would be an issue on Cat5. With normal baluns we turn the cable back over and tape to the balun. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
datadiffusion Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 These are good - http://cpc.farnell.com/wago/51257303/enclosure-junction-wagobox-light/dp/CN17118 Cheap at £1.40 max Rubber cable strain, tool-less Straight through cable path on this 'lighting' model unlike the standard wagobox If not sat on ceiling void can be fixed via a 'button' (about 7p each) so no drilling though the box and boxcan be removed and replaced to play around with. Space for power lead crimps too. Not as cheap as tape though! So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
alterEGO Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 No good on small jobs if you're sending power down the cat5 too. We don't connect baluns into DVR's, they go to the boxed PSU or breakout box and rg59 out to DVR.
datadiffusion Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 You've lost me a bit? I do that too at the DVR end, but assume at the camera end, assuming its your typical dome, you have a 0.5m-ish Y lead that branches into BNC and power? So within the wago box you connect 1 pair of the CAT5 to balun and the other to the power? So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
