System Diagram

The American Dynamics ADACTP01BNC Twisted
Pair Video Adapter is a passive transmission device
that transmits video or video with up-the-coax
(UTC) dome control signals over unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cables, point-to-point, for
distances up to 300m (1000 ft).

These adapters use Category 2-6 twisted pair wires
to transmit the video and dome control signals,
and do not require power. The compact design
allows for mounting directly to the video source or
receiver without additional cabling.

Some digital video recorders, video servers or similar products may 
lose color information when UTP cable distances exceed 180 m (600 ft).
