BIG BANG!!! Key Digital has sold over 10,000 Baluns in Q1: FatCAT Series™ KD-CAT5XRCA. Key Digital’s answer to sending analog video and analog or digital audio through CAT5 cables comes to you in a small package that delivers big results.

What makes the FatCATs better? It is a more advanced design compared to standard baluns. Coaxial cable that is traditionally used for sending analog video does a great job but it is expensive and cumbersome. One of coax’s big advantages is the shielded ground which helps to prevent noise from interfering with the video signal.

Since the wiring used in CAT5 is twisted pairs, it does not offer the same shielded performance as coaxial cable. By designing adjustable ground settings into the FatCAT balun transmitters and receivers, Key Digital offers superior noise rejection and ground isolation which makes the FatCATs ideal for sending video and audio over CAT5. These special ground adjustments are easily set via DIP switches and allow for the best possible performance to be transmitted through CAT5/6 STP or UTP wiring. By setting these switches, it is easy to see the difference and customers will appreciate the terrific signal performance.
