Hi.
I'm building a new house and plan to run in-wall wiring to a projector location.
I found some cool RCA and S-Video modular wall jacks that terminate via 110 punchdown blocks. The idea being to directly run these signals on Cat cable.
But will this really work?
I know that video signals are run on UTP Cat cable in TV studios and so on, but I thought this required baluns on each end of the run to balance and impedance match the signal in to the Cat cable, then unbalance and match back to coax impedance going out.
I’d think ignoring all that and running directly on UTP would at least degrade the signal a bunch. My run is about 45'.
To get the best of both worlds, my idea is to run mini coax (22 ga. conductor, Canare V3-5CFB 5 channel, here ), and punch right into the 110 block slots. Sound crazy? :E Thanks.
Peace,
Sanaka
