Use RCA on balun for data?

Recommended Posts

Hey all.

This is my first post. And got a quick question:

 

Is it a problem to use the RCA (audio) plugs provided on a BNC to RJ45 balun for data? Just cut off the RCA plugs and use the bare wires to go to and from RS485? I know I can get a balun pair that has specific "data" but I'm not sold on that for the additional cost. My cams don't have audio so, this would be better use of these 2 wires. This is what I plan on getting:

Thanks in advance!

Yeah guys, I was leaning that way too. I just wanted to see if anyone has actually done it. I do have that splitter on hand. It will make it easy to test. If it works, I'll solder on a good cable. I'll post the results in a few days when I get them.

Thanks again!

Rob
