Ghosting? I haven't seen it. The video isn't as perfect as a direct HDMI connection but I'm only using a 40 inch TV to watch it and it would take a side-by-side comparison to show the difference. The Dolby Digital audio decodes just fine.Back story: When we built our house in early 2006, I had four Cat-5 cables pulled to the "family room" and "great room" locations where we would place TVs (plus coax for cable/satellite, etc.). These cables home-run to a single location in the basement. Obviously, these support network/Internet, but they work well for these baluns, too.The basement "rec room" is our main location for "dedicated" TV watching, but the great room is near the main-floor kitchen where the family gathers after school until dinner is over and dishes are done. We have "basic" HD cable from Comcast, and have their HD DVR connected to the rec room TV. Comcast wanted $22/month for the second HD DVR for our great-room TV; that was simply too much. So, here's our solution:The basement rec room HD DVR is connected directly to the TV through an HDMI cable and to the amp with a fiberoptic cable. The HD DVR's component video and coax digital audio is connected to one balun, and the balun is connected to a Cat-5 cable. I connect that Cat-5 to a Cat-5 going to the great room. In the great room I connect the other balun to the TV's component video input and the amp's coax audio input. I added a "remote extender" from the great room to the rec room so we can operate the HD DVR from upstairs.Now, all HD channels and everything on the rec room's HD DVR is available in both rooms. $100 for the baluns and about $50 for a remote extender versus $22/month to Comcast. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars not happy with unit *by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2013* item never arrived in pairs as mentioned in the question and answer section of the item profile. It was not acceptable to me to have to increase the picture settings to compensate for the signal loss. Went with an active, amplified, (no loss) unit instead. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Ghosting *by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2008* Major disappointment. Ghosting at any resolution with cat 5 cabling over about 40 feet. Digital audio works great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1805654-cable-electroics-c5-hdp-passive-component-video-blaun-transformer-digital](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1805654-cable-electroics-c5-hdp-passive-component-video-blaun-transformer-digital) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
