Signal Transmission and Distribution
Signal Transmission & Distribution
Signal transmission and distribution equipment carries video, data, and network signals beyond the distance and interference limits of standard cabling, and converts between media so different parts of a system connect cleanly. These products extend CCTV and network runs over fiber or twisted pair on commercial and campus installations. Use the categories below to find the right transmission method.
Fiber Transmission
Fiber transmission sends video and data over long distances with immunity to electrical interference, using transmitters, receivers, and media converters that bridge fiber and copper. American Fibertek and others supply transmitters and receivers for analog and IP video, data, and contact closures.
UTP Transmission & Baluns
UTP transmission and baluns carry camera signals over unshielded twisted-pair cable such as Cat5e and Cat6, letting installers reuse structured cabling for video and reach farther than coax in many applications, with passive and active baluns for single or multi-channel runs.
