© MuxLab Inc. 2008-2009 Stereo AV/IR Pass-Thru Balun
Overview
The Stereo AV/IR Pass-Thru Balun (500048,
500049) allows one (1) composite video, one (1)
stereo audio and one (1) IR emitter signal to be
transmitted via a single Cat5E/6 cable in a point-
to-point connection. The Stereo AV/IR Pass-Thru
Balun features full audio bandwidth response for
high fidelity applications and features built-in
color-coded cable leads for ease of installation.
The Stereo AV/IR Pass-Thru Balun also works in
conjunction with third party IR Remote Control
equipment allowing the IR Emitter to connected
the IR control module using the same Cat5E/6
cable as video and audio for more cost-efficient
cabling. Some of the applications are; classroom
video distribution, commercial and home
audio/video systems, hospital video training,
video conferencing, and video kiosks.
