We need to run video over some existing CAT5 cables using baluns on
either end. The existing cables are all terminated with jacks on both
ends. One end is a patch panel and on the other end they are connected
to jacks which are mounted on the baseboards. We plan to make 8 foot
cables with an RJ 45 on one end, plug it into the baseboard jack, run
the cable up the wall and then connect the other end to the balun and
then to the camera. Would it matter if this short piece of cable were
CAT3? Thanks, Lenny
