INTRODUCTION
The C5-VWM is a stand-alone device that transforms a composite video signal to and
from CAT-5 twisted pair cabling. It has two sets of simple connections. The first is an RCA
connector for the video signal. The second is a shielded CAT-5 connector for the CAT-5 twisted
pair connection. The circuitry is passive so there is no need for a power supply.
The C5-VWM allows a video device, such as a CCTV camera, to be located an extended
distance from the system it is to be connected to. Doing so with conventional video cabling is
both expensive and prone to signal degradation. By using a pair of these devices and a run of
CAT-5 the problem can be solved inexpensively and without signal loss and the introduction
of noise. Additionally, in today’s retrofit market an installer cannot always successfully run a
wire from point A to point B. There exists however an abundance of twisted pair cabling in
many homes. By using a pair of these devices with an existing wire an installer may be able to
complete a job that he otherwise could not.
