Lexcom make one, but it is only of use if you have thier system which uses CAT7 cable.
You can not get the standard tv channels down Cat5e.
Input Integration on konnect2.net can supply these if they are what you want.

Re: where to get Cat5 to Coax cable
You could try Abitanna. But once again it requit¡res their specialised Cat5 cable. Their site is www.abitana.com or their UK distributor www.minitran.co.uk.
You might want to try loking at this site http://www.kat5.tv/index1.html . But this is for transmitting composite video and stereo audio over cat 5.IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

If your TV channels are at the high end (Mine are 62, 55, 59, 65, 52 for 1-5 respectively) then this could cause big differences in signal strength which cant simply be amplified. It requires amplification of specific channels to ensure that levels remain approximately the same otherwise some will be overloaded whilst others will be grainy and those sort of amplifiers arent cheap!
Hope that helps

Hi Keith,
He actually has a Cat7 system installed and was looking for a RJ45 to TV balun to allow him to peel off the UHF channels passing down his Lexcom system.
Agree with the Cat5 comments there are a couple of systems out there and the attenuation is scarey at the upper frequencies (50dB over 100M!)www.intouchtech.co.uk (trade)

Re: where to get Cat5 to Coax cable
Hi Chris,
With CAT7 he should be OK especially if his signals are not right up at the high end. Still cant say where to get the Balun though.
Despite Channel 5 being the lowest channel number for our terrestrial stations it is still unwatchable but I suspect that is more to do with the fact that 1,2,3,4 are transmitted at 250kW and 5 is only 4kW :cry:
Being 40 miles from the transmitter and having a huge ugly 1970's shopping centre directly in the way probably doesnt help either!

Lexcom do one specifically for thier system and we have an installer on the case.
I believe thier TV amp has tilt on it to overcome the attenuation at the higher frequencies.www.intouchtech.co.uk (trade)
