• The CAT5 T6 (C5T6) has one set of RCA inputs and one set of RCA loop-thru connectors (to go to the next Transmitter or a local monitor) and two RJ-45 jacks CAT5 signal inputs, if both signals are present at same time (RCA and CAT5), the RCA input signal will be selected automatically. • If you wish to use the CAT5 input signal, be certain the RCA input cables “are not connected.” • The unit allows any Audio/Video source, with Y, Cb, Cr, or Y, Pb, Pr Outputs (Component), to distribute the Audio and Video to distant locations with excellent picture quality. The amplifier also supports digital audio (The digital audio port can be used for composite video if desired.) • This unit works in conjunction with the CAT5RX (receiver units), which supports one monitor with component video, right and left audio, and digital audio. The RX has an adjustable equalizer to compensate for signal loss caused by long cables. • An optional external IR system can be used with IR jacks. • If CAT5 input signal is used, you can loop out that signal via RCA loop out connectors. Cascade UNITS via RCA loop output or via CAT5. • Unused RCA connectors do not need to be terminated SPECIFICATIONS VIDEO (All channels including Component and CAT5) Nominal input level: 1 Volt peak to peak Gain: 1 Volt into 75 ohms (2 Volts unterminated) Input impedance: 75 ohms component in 100 ohms twisted pair input Output impedance: 75 ohms loop out 100 ohms twisted pair output Isolation port to port: >45 dB Isolation out to input: >65 dB Return loss: >20dB Video Bandwidth: >75 MHz Distance: Maximum distance varies between 400 feet to 500 feet depending upon the type of cable used, type of receiver, and video resolution. 3 composite video signals may be substituted on the individual component video inputs (1000 ft. max) AUDIO Analog: Nominal input level: 1 Volt peak to peak Gain: Unity (slightly reduced at max. cable length) Input impedance: 22K ohm Audio IN 100 ohms twisted pair IN Output impedance: 1K ohm on Loop Out 100 ohms twisted pair OUT Frequency response: 20 Hz to 100 KHz Signal to Noise: 80 dB @ 1 Volt Out Digital: Supports standard SPDIF digital audio. Unity Gain when terminated into 75 Ohms. (Composite Video is supported on this port.) POWER Requirement: External 9 or 10 Volt AC @ 1200 mA with a (2.1mm center) coaxial barrel connector (Power Supply is included)

transmitter amplifier in a dry location. It can be either mounted to a wall or in a 19 inch rack. 2. Connect the source device component video/audio outputs to the appropriate input jacks on the C5T6. The loop out jacks can be used to feed a local monitor or cascade I. Note: Do not connect a Loop Out cable unless the other end is plugged into a monitor or other 75 ohm impedance device. The unused loop-thru connectors are internally terminated (75ohms). If nothing is connected. A floating cable plugged into the loop output jacks who causes a very bright, washed out looking video. II. Note: The C5T6 can receive UTP (Unshielded twisted pair), inputs from a remote Transmitter. The corresponding cables should be connected to the Cable A and Cable B input RJ-45 jacks on the C5T6. 3. Two IR jacks are provided to connect to external IR controllers. The C5T6 merely provides a transport path for the signals; the customer must supply external IR pickups, emitters, and power injectors as needed. 4. The C5T6 has six pairs of output jacks. Each remote location requires both A and B cables for Video, Audio, and IR. Connect the A and B cables to each output pair that will be driving a remote location. 5. At the other end of the same UTP cables, connect A and B to the CAT5RX respectively. The RCA outputs on the CAT5RX are used to connect to the remote monitor. Repeat same process to the other 5 sets of outputs as needed. 6. Insert the power supply connector into the power jacks of the C5T6. Plug the wall transformer into a 120Vac outlet. The C5T6 power LED should be on and the unit is ready to use. a. Each CAT5RX will have 3 LEDs on to indicate continuity of the CAT5 cable. If one of the Continuity LEDs is not on, there could be a problem with the A cable. Both A and B cables should be installed for the detector to work properly. 7. On each CAT5RX, adjust the equalization control to the approximate length of the Cat5 cable. View the picture on the monitor and fine tune the equalization control for the most pleasing picture. 8. There are 1/8” mini-jacks available to allow the transport of IR signals. This requires optional external IR system components. 9. Your installation is complete. CAT5 HDTV TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER CONNECTOR PIN-OUT Note: Room 1 and Room 2 pin-outs on Transmitter are identical View from front of unit’s RJ-45 Jack Applications with Only one Cable Some users only have one CAT5 cable available and have expressed an interest in routing the Digital Audio along with the component video on the single CAT5 cable. This can be accomplished by splittng out the last pair (pins 7 and 8 (Brown and Brown White) of cable A) and connect them to a second R-45 connector (once again in positions 7 and 8). This second RJ-45 connector should be plugged into the Cable B RJ-45 jack. This would need to be done on both the Transmitter and Receiver ends of the system. IR Remote and IR Emitter These passive jacks are provided to allow the use of an external IR system. There is no power supplied to the IR jacks internally, so the user supplied external IR blocks must include a power inserter function.
