Chapter 3: Connnection and Installation
3. Connection and Installation
1. Using quality DisplayPort cables, connect a DisplayPort source (Blu-ray
™
,
games console, satellite/cable TV, media server, etc.) to the DisplayPort IN
port of the transmitter.
NOTE: Make sure that the source and display are 4K compatible if you are
attempting to transmit an Ultra HD signal—check that all devices are
correctly configured for input/output compatibility.
2. Connect a good quality, well-terminated CAT5e or higher cable between
the CATx OUT of the transmitter to the CATx IN of the receiver.
NOTE: The maximum transmission distances for the extenders are 230 feet
(70 meters) with CAT5e/CAT6 or 328 feet (100 meters) with
CAT6a/CAT7. This value applies to perfect transmission conditions—
including straight cable runs with no electrical interference, bends, kinks,
patch panels, or wall outlets.
If any of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission range may be
affected—avoid this where possible.
3. Connect the DisplayPort display device (LED/LCD display or projector) to the
DP OUT of the receiver.
NOTE: We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to secure
the receiver to a flat surface behind/near the display device.
Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture/sound
if connections loosen or strain, resulting in unnecessary service callbacks.
4. Connect the included 12-VDC power supply to the transmitter and power it
on. The PoH function carries power along the length of the cable one way to
power the receiver. No additional power supply is required at the display end
of the cable run.
