Hikvision DS-1H18S/E(C) Video Balun
The Hikvision DS-1H18S/E(C) video balun provides reliable real-time video transmission over UTP Cat5e or Cat6 cable for compatible HD-TVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS analog camera systems. Designed for CCTV installations, it supports transmission distances of up to 350 m while helping reduce interference, crosstalk and noise.
The compact balun uses a BNC male connector for coaxial video and a tool-less push-pin terminal block for twisted-pair connections, making it practical for installations where video needs to be transmitted over UTP cabling. It supports a wide range of video resolutions, from 720P and 960P through to 1080P, 3MP, 4MP, 5MP and 8MP.
Description
The Hikvision DS-1H18S/E(C) video balun is designed to transmit one channel of CCTV video over UTP Cat5e or Cat6 cable, with support for HD-TVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS formats. With a maximum transmission distance of 350 m, more than 60 dB of crosstalk and noise immunity, and built-in surge protection, it is suited to a range of analog HD surveillance installations. The ABS engineering plastic housing provides a compact and lightweight design for practical deployment.
Features
Reliable CCTV Video Transmission
Using UTP Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, the DS-1H18S/E(C) supports real-time transmission for compatible analog camera systems. Its wave filter and anti-static design help provide interference rejection, while the stated greater than 60 dB anti-interference performance helps minimise the effects of crosstalk and noise.
The video balun supports a maximum transmission distance of 350 m and can handle resolutions ranging from 720P up to 8MP, depending on the compatible camera system and installation.
Key transmission points:
- 1-channel video transmission
- Maximum transmission distance of 350 m
- UTP Cat5e/Cat6 cable support
- Compatible with HD-TVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS
- Supports 720P, 960P, 1080P, 3MP, 4MP, 5MP and 8MP resolutions
- Greater than 60 dB anti-interference performance
Surge and Interference Protection
The DS-1H18S/E(C) incorporates solid-state TVS protection for surge protection and includes a wave filter design and anti-static design. The specified protection levels cover both the coaxial and UTP cable connections, helping the unit withstand electrical interference encountered in CCTV installations.
Protection includes:
- ESD contact discharge level 3 and air discharge level 3 according to IEC61000-4-2
- 2KV common-mode protection for the coaxial connector according to IEC61000-4-5
- 2KV different-mode and common-mode protection for the UTP connector according to IEC61000-4-5
Connections and Construction
The Hikvision video balun uses a 75 ohm BNC male video connector and a 100 ohm UTP cable interface. The twisted-pair connection uses a tool-less push-pin terminal block, allowing straightforward connection during installation.
The housing is made from ABS engineering plastic and has a black finish. With a weight of just 39 g, the unit is compact and lightweight.
