HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring

  IMPORTANT!  HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring Guidelines

• 

4K UHD resolutions require more bandwidth than 1080p, for this 
reason Wyrestorm recommends using Cat6 or higher to ensure proper 
4K UHD transmission.

• 

The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, 
and electrical or environmental interference can have an adverse effect 
on HDMI and HDBaseT transmission limiting performance.

• 

If a patch panel is being used, Cat6a or higher cable must be used 
from the matrix to the 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.

Resolution Distances

The type of category cable used and the distance between the matrix 
and receiver can restrict the available video resolution.
Refer to Video Resolutions in the 

Specifications

 table for the max 

distance based on resolution.

RS-232 Wiring

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.

IR Wiring

IR TX (Emitter) Wiring

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

IR Signal

Sleeve: Ground (GND)

IR RX/IR EXT (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

 cable to remove the 5V DC.
