No need to use a bazooka to shoot rabbits.
Basic baluns are freely available that allow you to send stereo audio and composite video down a single cat5 cable. Not a purest option but i have had great success with them when required. They have an RJ 45 socket on one end and 2 rca's for audio and a BNC for video on the other end. They are small and cheap.

Blurb from the website below. If you want to see it, click below and enter "AVL1" into the model number search on the site.
Several others for different applications are also available E.G component video. Enter just "AVL" to see all models.

Video Transmitter Audio/Video Adaptor

Designed for base band/ composite audio/video signals to be transmitted down Cat 5 (UTP) cable. Requires both a transmitter and receiver for each line. Units can be used as either a transmitter or receiver €Stereo audio inputs - RCA sockets €Video input - BNC socket €BNC to RCA socket adaptor supplied. €RJ45 8 pin modular socket € Impedance and bandwidth: Video 100‡ balanced - 12MHZ Audio 600‡ balanced - 50Hz-12KHz €Size: 75mm(L) x 55mm(W) x 25mm(H)

This is the one i use (in Australia). I'm sure plenty of others are probably available.

I guarantee I'll tell you the truth and I guarantee I'll tell you what you need to know but I can't guarantee that I'll be telling you anything you want to hear.

I second the ELAN IRAVWP though it is now known as the RSWP. Sends analog audio and IR 300ft. over CAT5. If you have a coax in place, you can do video as well.

Such as what? I am surprised at this response, as AVAD has these, the electrical house across the alley from my local AVAD has these, the electronic supply house that I have used for over thirty years has these.

I have never used Capitol sales, but I have heard good things about them from a pro install buddy for years, and I keep seeing their name here with kudos. Look them up; I am sure they have them, too.

Whom have you asked for these?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
