Pelco is now offering UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable capability exclusively to Camclosure 2 customers - in addition to the standard, built-in coaxial option. With UTP cabling, performance is achieved with significantly lower cable costs, easier installs and extended cable distances.

A balun was specifically created as a mating part to meet UTP video output demand for the Camclosure 2 family of integrated camera systems. Increasingly, UTP is being used in video security systems, offering flexibility unmatched by traditional coaxial cables. Customers need just one balun part for each Camclosure 2 camera ordered, and may use any other Pelco UTP device as the receiver at the other end of the video security installation. Connecting the Pelco active receiver to a passive transceiver with an appropriate Cat cable will allow as much as 4,000 feet of distance for the installation.
