CAT Cable Wiring

For optimal performance and compatibility, both ends of the CAT5e/6 cable must be wired identically using the T568B wiring standard. It is recommended to use solid copper core CAT6 cable (23AWG) for best results, avoiding CCA types and minimizing patches.

Application Diagrams

1-to-1 Connection: Direct connection between the Transmitter and Receiver or through a Gigabit LAN via a dedicated switch.

1-to-Many Connection: Requires a dedicated Gigabit switch. If using an existing network, create a VLAN to segregate the Transmitter and Receivers from other network traffic. A smart switch is required for many-to-many setups.

IR Application

To control an HDMI source device from the remote location, connect the IR Blaster cable to the Transmitter's IR-TX port and the IR Receiver cable to the Receiver's IR-RX port. Ensure the IR Blaster eye is facing the source device's IR sensor.

Troubleshooting

• Display shows 'Please check the TX and RX connection': Verify power adapters are connected and powered on. Ensure the network cable is firmly connected between units.
• Display shows 'X' on Transmitter: Ensure the HDMI source is connected and powered on. Try using a different HDMI cable.
• Display shows 'X' between Transmitter & Receiver: Check that the network cable is securely connected.
• General issues: Ensure HDMI cables are under 5m and network cables are under 150m. Press the reset button on the Transmitter for 5 seconds.
