Compact CAT5 Audio/Video Splitter 

8

 

4. Using Category-5 cable connect one or more AC155A receivers to 

the unit's RJ45 outputs. The outputs are labeled PORT A and 
PORT B on the AC154A-2 or OUT 1 through OUT 8 on 
AC0154A-8. 

5. Connect the remote monitor and speakers to the receiver unit and 

attach the power adapter to the receiver. Please refer to AC155A 
User’s Manual for further details. 

CAUTION 

Before plugging in your remote monitor, verify that the AC line is 
properly wired and that a protective ground (green) wire is 
established with NO potential difference between both the sender 
and receiver locations (The UTP splitter can tolerate up to  5 v peak-
to-peak ground noise between the two locations) . Failure to ensure 
good grounding can result in erratic operation and possible shock 
hazards with severe damage to your equipment. If an LCD is being 
used at the remote location, verify that the LCD ground is tied to 
power-line ground. If not, then ground the receiver unit by adding a 
ground strap (see troubleshooting section for more information).
 

NOTICE 

Do not connect this unit to any LAN device such as network cards 
or hubs as this may damage the AC155A and/or the LAN device. Use 
EIA/TIA 568B standard straight-through patch wiring as shown 
below. Do not use crossover cables.
