Thanks for the real-world, practical advice. I love the idea of using
Cat5 for this application and my searches have now provided some
promising brands/models of these transformers.

However, I haven't yet seen a Cat5 converter that will take two Y/C
runs--that would be great. Does this product actually exist or are you
just commenting on the possible line-run capacity of Cat5?

Thanks (and hopefully we'll one day be in a position to replace the
cameras we're using now!)
