4.  Now connect a single Cat5e/6 up to 70m in 

length between the Cat output ports of the 
matrix and the cat input port of each of the six 
display receivers.

1.  Uses single CAT-5e/6 or HDMI cable to send 

uncompressed video and audio over long dis-
tances from upto eight source devices to upto 
eight Displays

2.  Supported video resolutions:
