HDBaseT Wiring

  

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines

•  The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, 

and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse 
effect on HDBaseT transmission limiting performance. Steps should 
be taken to minimize these factors (or remove completely) during 
installation for best results.

  IMPORTANT!  

If a patch panel is being used, Cat6a or higher cable must be used to and 
from the transmitter and receiver as well as inside the panel to avoid loss 
of signal.

•  While similar in nature, the HDBaseT protocol is different than Ethernet 

and voltages provided for PoH can be higher than those provided by 
PoE. For this reason, never connect an HDBaseT link to an Ethernet 
router or switch to avoid damaging the connected devices.

Wiring for HDBaseT follows the EIA T568B standard.

Supported Video Resolutions

The type of category cable used and the distance between the 
transmitter and receiver can restrict the available video resolution.

Note: 

•  Transmitter and receiver must have long cable mode enabled to reach 

150m/492ft. See Dipswitch Settings.

•  When connected to a class B HDBaseT receiver, the supported 

distance is limited to 70m/230ft 1080p.

Power Supply Wiring

The EX-100-4K-PRO can supply power via PoH to the receiver or 
transmitter.  The included power supply must be used on either the 
transmitter or receiver in order for PoH to power the opposite device.  
The power supply can connect using either the attached barrel connector 
the included 2-pin Screw Down Phoenix Connector.

IR Wiring

IR TX (Emitter) Wiring

Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.

Tip:

Sleeve: Ground (GND)

IR RX (Receiver) Wiring

Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that 
o5V DC to power the included IR receiver.

  IMPORTANT! IR TX Connection Guidelines

3rd party IR receivers may require a different voltage, refer to the 
documentation provided with the IR receiver before making any 
connections to avoid damaging the device. 
When connecting to an IR control system use the 

WyreStorm CAB-IR-

LINK

 stereo to mono cable to remove the 5V DC.

RS-232 Wiring

RS-232 Connection Guidelines

The following wiring diagram shows the pinouts for the extender set.  
While not shown, connect the TX (transmit) to RX (receive) pins at the 
control system or PC side of the cable.

Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, 
this can vary from device to device.  Refer to the documentation for 
the connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct 
connections can be made.

Wire colors shown follow EIA-561 standard.
