CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
The CAT5 Multi Video System extends video signals over ordinary Category 5
cable. All models use a transmitter-to-receiver setup.
This manual covers the CAT5 Multi Video System 1x9 Distribution Amp. A CAT5
Multi Video System transmitter unit as well as CAT5 Multi Video System receiver
units are required for operation. Please contact technical support for help.
WARNING
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet network. Do not connect these devices to any sort
of networking or telecommunications equipment!
2.2 Package Contents
You should have received the following when ordering a CAT5 Multi Video System
receiver:
•The 1x9 Video Distribution Amp.
•A ground wire.
•External power supply (100–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz, autosensing) with cord.
•This manual.
2.3 Equipment You May Also Need
•CAT5 cable.
2.4 Compatible Cabling
CAT5 cabling for the CAT5 Multi Video System must be pinned to the TIA-EIA
T568B wiring specification. We also highly recommend that all CAT5 cables
be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an existing
infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the TIA-EIA
T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the
CAT5 Multi Video System.

3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Cabling Considerations
• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the CAT5 Multi Video
System components before applying power.
• Makes sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply
with the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification.
3.2 Making the Connections
3.2.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL
1. Connect the RJ-45 cable from a CAT5 Multi Video System transmitter unit or
other 1x9 Video Distribution Amp into the port labeled UTP IN.
2. Connect RJ-45 cables from CAT5 Multi Video System receiver units into the
ports labeled OUTPUTS.
3. The port labeled UTP THRU may be used to cascade to other 1x9 Video
Distribution Amps or can be used with a CAT5 Multi Video System receiver.
4. Connect the power supply to the unit.
5. Connect the included ground cable to the rear gold thumbscrew and the other
end to a suitable earth ground. The grounding is required in instances where LCD
monitors are used that do not provide a ground via the DC power adapter. Failure
to connect the ground cable may result in loss of video signals.

CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation
3.2.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE 1x9 VIDEO DISTRIBUTION AMP (AC1050A)
The CAT5 Multi Video System 1x9 Distribution Amp utilizes industry standard
CAT5 cabling to connect a CAT5 Multi Video System transmitter and receivers.
Additional 1x9 Distribution Amps may be cascaded via the UTP THRU output or
any other output if necessary.
Figure 3-1 shows the 1x9 Distribution Amp connections.

4. Troubleshooting
4.1. Common Problems
In most cases, nearly every issue with the CAT5 Multi Video System can be
resolved by checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the
TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that
cause the system to not perform as it’s designed. Below are solutions to the most
common installation errors.
Problem: No video signal at the receiver.
Solution: • Check that all units are powered.
• Make sure the CAT5 cable is terminated correctly per the
TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification.
• Check Receiver cable compensation switches/knob
adjustments
• Is the display device powered on and functioning?
4.2 Calling Black Box
