Just a terminology pedant (sorry in advance)...

It should be "balun" from the 2 words balanced and unbalanced as it is 
a "converter" between the two. Coax is "unbalanced" i.e. one side is 
grounded (the shield on the coax) and the RJ-45 side is balanced as 
each pair is rx+ and rx- and tx+ and tx- with no ground to be seen.
