It possibly came out of a 4 camera cctv kit from Maplin but I'm not sure.
Any help welcomed.

For what though? One end is a PC COM port and the other has sring clips to hold wires. Ze mind boggles!Looks like a power supply.
Yeah it's the relay that's doing my head in. Maybe there are more important things to worry about anyway!Hello,
It looks like some kind of switch, as there is a relais on the board.

Now were cooking with gas!Could it take data from the DB connector to switch power to individual cameras?
I have had a look at the Maplin 4 camera kit online but can't see this part. It does say however something about a unit that allows all the cameras to be powered at once but does not show a picture of it.OK, coming back to read the new responses since I started writing.
Perhaps the relay switches power to the cameras. I don't know about the signal, however. You wouldn't be wiring a video signal to this thing using discrete wires.
Would you really transfer video data over discrete wires (see the 7-wire trap for discrete wire hookup)?? I think signal integrity would be a fail.My guess is it is for transferring data from CCTV to CPU.
Interesting. I suppose it could be twisted-pair cable, but it looks really flat, so I'm guessing the conductors are all parallel.I would say it depends upon the video. My X-10 cameras came with50 feet of 4 lead telephone type wire with the RJ connector for video, audio and power. They work fine for surveillance. I don't think it would work for broadcast quality.
Oh, that just takes all the fun out of it.Why not ask Maplin?
Yeah, like the time I asked them if they had any 10k resistors in stock and then had to explain what they were, you mean!Why not ask Maplin?
