Understanding the XT-HDBT-EX100-4K18G-KIT HDBaseT status lights
The Xantech HDBaseT extender solution includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to show all connections
are active and to help diagnose possible problems.

Terminating the interconnecting HDBaseT CAT cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the Xantech HDBaseT products is terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configura-
tion. The link CAT cable
MUST
be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this
format is less prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT cable quality possible. HDMI distribution products will only work if
used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Xantech recommends using a CAT6 (or better) cable for your installations, especially when running
over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution.
