The KD-CAT5XCAT5 can receive power from either the CAT5 ‘Control’ connection or
via the supplied power adapter. When using the CAT5 cable to deliver power to the unit,
performance is subject to the following factors:
� Ability of the CAT5 cable to deliver the required power over distance
� Quality of the CAT5 cable.
1. Find a safe and convenient location for the KD-CAT5XCAT5 unit.
Before permanently securing the unit or final installation of cabling behind walls or
ceilings, test for proper operation of the unit and the cables in your system.
2. Power
In order to insure the best possible performance from the KD-CAT5XCAT5, we
recommend using only the original Key Digital power supply.
If you are using the supplied power adapter, plug it into the power input jack on
the side of the unit. You should see the “Power” LED illuminate. (see Fig. 1)
Green LED: Power Indicator
Blue LED: Stable input video signal present
Red LED: Valid Source/Synch DVD/TV connection indicator
Power Jack
• Plug in the CAT5 source cables to their corresponding ‘Data’ and ‘Control’
input ports of the KD-CAT5XCAT5. If you are not using the supplied power
adapter, the “Power” LED should illuminate upon plugging in the ‘Control’
input cable if your HDMI source and the KD-HDMIXCAT5 or KD-
CAT5XCAT5 are powered on.
• Plug in the CAT5 output cables to the “Data” and “Control” output ports on
the KD-CAT5XCAT5. At this point, if both your source (KD-VP8, KD-
HDMIXCAT5 or KD-HDMIWPTX) and destination (KD-CAT5XHDMI,
KD-HDMIWPRX) devices are powered on, you should see the green “Power”
LED and the blue “HPD” LED lit.
When a stable signal is established between your source and destination, the red
“Equalizer Active” LED will light. If this red LED indicator is blinking or not
illuminated, try shortening HDMI or CAT5 cable lengths or lowering the resolution
of the video signal.

Mounting the KD-CAT5XCAT5 unit
The KD-CAT5XCAT5 is shipped with a convenient mounting bracket as an installation
option. Once you have verified operation of the unit with your cables, secure the
mounting bracket to a convenient location. Carefully insert the KD-CAT5XCAT5 into
the bracket.
