Overview
Baluns are miniature adapters for connecting mixed cable types or devices with mis-matched interfaces. They enable carrier and large-enterprise customers to standardize on twisted-pair wiring, even though some equipment may have unique E1 terminations (see diagrams below).

The Model 465 has the 1.6/5.6 coax connectors used extensively in telephone exchange sites. The balun has two interfaces, so both the TX and RX coax signals can be carried over a single length of twisted-pair cabling (which is much less costly than any kind of coaxial cable).
Features
- Use 120-ohm twisted-pair wiring with unbalanced coaxial equipment.
- Uses 1.6/5.6 coaxial connectors.
- No more buying expensive and space-hungry hardware for patching and distributing G.703 connections.
- Low-cost model supports rates of 2 Mbps (faster versions are available for rates up to 155 Mbps).
- Low insertion loss, fully meets ITU-T (CTR12) G.703 standards.
- Standard twisted-pair terminations.
- Enclosed in flame retardant housings.
- Baluns are 100% tested for reliability and durability.
- Baluns come in a variety of connectors and packaging.
- Customized versions available upon request.
