CAT Cable Wiring

We suggest both RJ-45 connectors be wired identically following T568B wiring standard for the best performance and compatibility.

Both connectors must be wired identically, to T568B standard.

Note : You may use cat5e, cat6 UTP (cat6 preferred) in conjunction with the RJ45 output: however for best performance use cat6a or cat7 (particularly in electrically noisy environments). The maximum distances & transmission performance for HDMI and USB may be compromised by cable quality, patch panels, poor termination, wall plates, cable kinks and electrical interferences. Generally ensure the cat cable is solid copper core of 23AVwe (avoid CCA type), in one straight run (avoid/minimise patches) and avoid close proximity to any noisy 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 a 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 Blaster cable and IR Receiver cable. Face the IR eye towards your device’s IR window. This connection is needed only if you need to control your HDMI device from the remote location. Please see the Connection Diagram on page 12 for proper connection.
5. Plug your CAT 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 a HDMI cable (HDMI cable not included).
