Terminating the Interconnecting HDBaseT™ CAT Cable

It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the Blustream HDBaseT™ products is terminated using the  correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link CAT cable MUST be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that thisis 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 you use the best possible CAT cable quality possible. HDBaseT™ products using the VS6000 Stello chipset (HDBaseT™ 3.0) require a minimum grade of CAT6A cabling, by specification, to ensure stable distribution of USB-C signals over distances up to 100m. Please note: using a reduced grade of CAT cable that does not feature the same level of immunity to outside interference, insufficient bandwidth, or passing through connections (i.e. patch panels or in-line connectors), will lead to an unstable distributon of the
high-bandwidth signal used in HDBaseT™ 3.0 products. Blustream recommend using CAT6A F/UTP, or better, for use with the UEX3C-KIT.

Understanding the HDBaseT™ Signal Status Lights

The Blustream HDBaseT™ extender solutions include status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to show all connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.
Understanding the Status Lights:

• The orange HDBaseT link light will be off when there is no CAT cable / active HDBaset connection on the RJ45 HDBase port
• The orange HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and Receiver
• The orange HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is stably connected between the Transmitter and Receiver
• The green HDBaseT Data light will be off when no USB data signal is transmitted
• The green HDBaseT Data light will regularly flash when there is USB 2.0 data transmitted
•  The green HDBaseT Data light will unregularly flash when there is USB data transmission fault
• The green HDBaseT Data light will be lit when there is USB3.0 data transmitted
