| Yes, works great, they are really required when the runs start getting
more than 50 or 100 feet to get a good picture. What is your question?

Works like a charm. Actually, sometimes you don't even need to use a
balun. Depends on your distances.
What exactly would you like to know?

Thanks

| Nothing specific really. It depends on your acceptable level of picture
quality. Normally you should be goot for about 100 feet or so without
baluns.

I agree with Martin, 100 feet would do just fine. We run 25-75 ft almost
every day in schools (a link between a teacher's outlet and a projector
location that's below the ceiling in the middle of the classroom), and
have done tests for up to 125ft. No visually detectable picture quality
degradation over (good quality) CAT5E cable.
On the question of pinouts: that's the thing with non-standard
applications: you can pick your own pinout. Just make sure you use the
same pinout on both ends.
