Surge protection device
recommended
This product contains sensitive electrical
components that may be damaged
by electrical spikes, surges, electric
shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge
protection systems is highly recommended
in order to protect and extend the life of
your equipment.
Safety And
Performance Notice
The transmission distances of HDMI
over UTP cables are measured using TE
CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6
EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) of cables
is recommended for optimal performance.
To minimise interference of the unshielded
twisted pairs in the CAT5e/6 cable do not
run the HDBaseT/Cat5e/6/6a cabling with
or in close parallel proximity to mains
power cables.
Do not substitute or use any other power
supply other than the enclosed unit, or a
Blustream approved replacement.
Do not disassemble either the Transmitter
or Receiver units for any reason. Doing so
will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Terminating the interconnecting HDBaseT CAT cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the Blustream HDBaseT products is terminated using the correct RJ45
pin configuration. The link CAT cable MUST be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wir-
ing standard as this format is less prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT cable quality possible. HDMI distribution products will
only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable for your installations, especially
when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or for 4K signal distribution.
Understanding the HEX100HDVGA signal status lights
RJ45 Wiring - T568B
The Blustream HEX100HDVGA extender solution includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to
show all connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.
Understanding the status lights:
Receiver:
• The HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a display/sink
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display
• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT input
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter/Matrix and Receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter/Matrix and an
active connection is achieved with the Receiver
• The Power link light will be o when no power is connected to the Receiver, or to the connected Transmitter unit
• The Power link light will be on when power is connected directly to the Receiver or is being received from the Transmitter unit
Transmitter:
• The HDMI signal link light will be o when there is no connection with a source device
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a source device
• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT output
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Transmitter and Receiver/Matrix
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the Transmitter and an active
connection is achieved with the Receiver/Matrix.
• The Power link light will be o when no power is connected to the Transmitter, or to the connected Receiver unit
• The Power link light will be on when power is connected directly to the Transmitter or is being received from the Receiver unit

The HEX100HDVGA can pass-through an RS232 signal for control of 3rd party equipment connected to either side of the TX and RX
units.
The HEX100HDVGA can also be set to receive an RS232 signal at either TX or RX end for the switching of the HDMI and VGA inputs
on the Transmitter unit.
The DIP switches on the side of both the Transmitter anbd Receiver units determine the mode and use of the RS232 connections
on both the TX and / or RX units.
