Notices

• This MSolutions product contains electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment.
• The transmission distances of HDMI over Cat cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6 EIA/ TIA-568-B termination (T568B) of cables is recommended for optimal performance. To minimise interference of unshielded twisted pairs in the Cat5e/6 cable, do not run the HDBaseT / Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close parallel proximity to mains power cables.
• Do not substitute or use any other power supply other than the enclosed unit, or an MSolutions approved replacement. Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Understanding the LED’s

This MSolutions extender set includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to show active connections and to further help integrators diagnose potential problems with the associated cabling. The RJ45 HDBaseT connections on both the transmitter and receiver units have orange and green LED’s.

• The orange LED indicates that the unit is receiving power. The LED will blink continuously.
• The green LED indicates that the unit is communicating with the unit attached to the far side of the link over the Cat cable. The LED will be solid whilst the units are able to host a HDBaseT link across the infrastructure.
• Internal LED’s that may be seen through venting of the product are not indicative of a working / non-working unit.

Cabling for HDBaseT

It is important that the interconnecting Cat cable between the MSolutions HDBaseT products is terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link Cat cable must be a ‘straight’ (pin-topin) Cat cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference). When installing Cat cables it is advised that the best possible Cat cable quality possible is used. HDMI distribution products will only work if used with Cat5e standard cable or above. MSolutions recommends using a Cat6 (or higher) cable for installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.

The HDMI cable infrastructure should be compliant to High-Speed standards, especially where 4K is being distributed. It is important to understand that where excessive HDMI cable lengths are used, this brings increased reduction in signal integrity over distance compared to HDBaseT. It is therefore recommended to use short HDMI cables to ensure the integrity of the signal over the link. For HDBaseT and HDMI testing capabilities, please refer to the MSolutions MS-TestPro to prove both Cat and HDMI cables can be used for video signal distribution.

USB

• This KVM extender combines USB2.0 connectivity with video and audio to be passed between host on the transmitter side, to a peripheral device on the receiver side of the link only (host at TX side).
• The USB type A connections on the Receiver can be used to connect a USB2.0 camera, touch screen, smart board, hard drive, games controller, USB audio device, printer, scanner, or HID (mouse or keyboard) to a host device at the HDBaseT transmitter.
• A maximum data transfer of 200Mbps can be achieved over the link – please note that this may not be enough for some USB2.0 cameras to pass higher video resolutions.
