CAT Cable Wiring

We suggest both RJ45 connectors be wired identically using T568B wiring standard for the best performance and compatibility.

Both connectors must be wired identically, to T568B standard.

Note: You may use CAT5e, CAT6 wiring, however, for best performance CAT6a or CATT (particular1y in electrically noisy environments) is recommended. The maximum transmission distance and video quality may be compromised by cable quality, patch cables, poor termination, wall plates, cable kinks, and electrical interference. We recommend using 100% copper 23AWG (avoid CCA type) CAT cable, in one straight run (avoid/minimize patches) and avoid dose proximity to electrical sources.

Hardware Installation

1. Power off all devices including your HDMI source and HDMI display(s).
2. Connect your HDMI source device to the Transmitter’s HDMI In connector with an HDMI cable (HDMI cable not included).
3. Optional: Connect your HDMI display to the Transmitter’s HDMI Out connector with an HDMI cable (HDMI cable not included) for local monitoring of the HDMI signal.
4. Optional: Connect the IR cable to the Transmitter’s IR port. See the IR application on page 9 for proper cable connection.
5. Plug a CAT6 cable between the Transmitter’s RJ45 Out and Receiver’s RJ45 In.
6. Connect your HDMI display to the Receiver’s HDMI Out connector with an HDMI cable (HDMI cable not included).
7. Optional: Connect the IR cable to the Receiver’s IR port. See the IR application on page 9 for proper cable connection.
