CatLinc™ DA-8
1. What is the CatLinc™ DA-8 system?
The SP Controls CatLinc™ DA-8 is a 1x8 Distribution Amplifier for the SP
Controls CatLinc™ proprietary signal type carried over CAT5, CAT5e, or
CAT6 STP, UTP, or FTP cable. It uses standard RJ-45 connectors for both
input and output.
The CatLinc™ DA-8 is designed for use with the SP Controls CatLinc™ fami
ly of products. It can be used to split the signal carried by the CatLinc™
VGA, CatLinc™ VGA-L, CatLinc™ VID, or CatLinc™ HD from one CatLinc™
Transmitter to up to eight CatLinc™ Receivers.
The CatLinc™ DA-8 is powered with a 12 VDC power supply. When pow
ered, the CatLinc™ DA-8 can distribute phantom power to a maximum of 8
CatLinc™ Receivers.
NOTE:
The CatLinc™ DA-8 can only be used with one CatLinc™ signal type.
For example, if you connect a CatLinc™ VGA Transmitter to the CatLinc™
DA-8
SYSTEM IN
, the output
must be run
to CatLinc™ VGA receivers.
Mixing different CatLinc™ Transmitters and Receivers could damage the
CatLinc™ units.
