I prefer something that is active.
Niles still offers them but they are passive....which might be OK, but I'm replacing 4 pairs of actives that were damaged in a storm. I think they were Elan but of course Elan no longer offers much that isn't Elan G related.

I have only ever used passive component baluns over the years and have never had any issues up to 300'
Pretty sure Snap still offers them as well.

Yeah...I don't think active is really necessary. I put a pair of Niles surface mount in temporarily to trouble shoot and they worked fine. Runs are all less than 100'
The Snaps will work fine, assuming they are built well?

I've used a few passive over 250' without any issue.
Why not upgrade to HDMI over Coax, since they are powered on both transceiver ends.

AA makes good stuff.
Used their drive-up teller system a few months back, what a lifesaver.

I'd still recommend a balun to ease troubleshooting and eliminate the clusterf*** appearance!

If and when these adaptors get rare, you might be able to use three high-quality CCTV "baluns" to do what's needed. That doesn't address the Decora aspect of things, just the electronics, of course.

John, I think I've got some Elan component receivers that went with their matrix. The matrix had cat outs, like the Hd6. Those work, or you need both ends?

I put in a lot of the Snaps. Had a few too many fail for my taste.
