HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring
IMPORTANT! HDMI/HDBaseT Wiring Guidelines
• Active HDMI cables or HDBaseT must be used for distances greater
than 10m between the matrix and connected devices in order to
maintain the highest level of video performance.
• 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.
• 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.

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 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.
