Extending HDMI using Cat5e to 50m (164ft)
with IR source control
Connection and Operation
1
Place the
IR TX emitter
sensor directly over the infrared receiving
areas of the
input source
(.i.e. Blu-ray, cable/sat box). You may have
to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best performance
results. Sometimes moving the sensor to different places on the
source can improve IR performance.
2
Connect the
IR TX emitter
3.5mm jack into the
IR TX
port on the
side
TRANSMITTER
balun.
3
Place the
IR RX receiver
sensor on the front of the
display.
You
may have to adjust the location of this later to achieve the best
performance and ensuring there is clear line of sight between this
sensor and any remote control you are using.
4
Connect their
IR RX emitter
3.5mm jack into the
IR RX
port on the
side of the
RECEIVER
balun.
!
We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets
to secure both the TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER baluns. Any
sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of
picture and sound if connections become loose or strained,
resulting in unnecessary service call backs.
5
Connect the
TRANSMITTER
and
RECEIVER
baluns with 2 x
good quality, well terminated and tested *Cat5e/6 cables with RJ45
connectors wired to the 568B standard at both ends. Ensure all
connectors are pushed securely to each port and supported by the
connector strain relief clip to prevent them from becoming loose. The
quality of termination for every RJ45 is essential. Poor terminations
leads to intermittent performance and longer install times.
6
Make sure you connect your RJ45 Cat5e cables correctly – Port 1
to Port 1, Port 2 to Port 2 (see diagram).
7
Finally, add the provided
5V power supplies
to both
TRANSMITTER
and
RECEIVER
. We do not recommend passing
power remotely over long cable distances as this can affect the
performance of the product.
!
You can power transmitter and receiver units
via a USB 5V lead (CAB-USB-5V) for screens
or sources with spare USB ports. This often
solves power availability problems especially
at the display end.

Control System
For two way IR control of the DISPLAY
from the SOURCE LOCATION, connect an
IR RX receiver cable to the transmitter.
All IR signals travel through PORT 1 so the
display can be operated by your control unit
at the SOURCE LOCATION when an IR TX
emitter is attached from the RECEIVER to
the infrared sensor of the DISPLAY.

An infrared signal can also be passed from the
transmitter balun location to the display. For example,
a control system transmitting a “TV off” command.

PLEASE NOTE
– All cable distances are on the basis of a direct runs of
cable (no patch panels or wall outlets). Please use good quality, solid conductor,
Cat5e cable. Stranded pre-made patch leads will reduce effectiveness of this
product. Please ensure Cat5e cables are installed to local electrical regulations.
Close lying electrical cables can effect product performance.
