Installation / Operation Instructions
Unpack the C5-HDP from the box. Place the adapter in a location close to the source
unit.
Connect the source device outputs to the appropriate input jacks on the C5-HDP using a
customer supplied RCA component video cable.
If not already installed, run the UTP cable from the source to the destination. Leave extra
cable length to terminate the ends with RJ-45 connectors. Either EIA-568A or EIA-568B
wiring standard may be used, as long as it is the same on both ends of the UTP cable.
Plug the remote end of the UTP cable into a second C5-HDP unit. Connect a component
video cable from the C5-HDP to the HD monitor. The digital audio can be connected to
the monitor (provided that it has the digital audio input option) or to an audio receiver that
has digital audio input capabilities.

CAT5 Passive Baluns
The C5-HDP is a high quality, wide bandwidth balun that is designed specifically to transport
HD video over medium distance UTP cable runs. It has a set of four RCA connectors for
component video and digital SPDIF audio. The UTP connector uses standard Cat5 or Cat6
cable in order to transport the signals to a remote location. All four channels use the same
wide bandwidth, custom balun transformer. This allows all channels to be used for composite
video if desired. The chassis is heavy gauge steel to stand up to any abuse and provides
excellent shielding to prevent pickup of unwanted signals. The chassis is powder-coat painted
to ensure corrosion and scratch resistance.
SPECFICATIONS

DISTANCE:
POWER
Nominal Input level: 1 Volt peak to peak
Gain: N/A (Passive unit)
Input Impedance: 75 ohms
Output Impedance: Balanced 100 ohms
Isolation port to port: >60 dB
Isolation out to input: Bi-directional
Return loss: >15 dB
Video bandwidth: > 35 MHz
The adapter provides a minimum of signal loss and may be used for High Definition distribution with cable
lengths up to 200 feet usually with no adjustment to the monitor.
We have achieved good results with a 1080i signal with cable in excess of 300 feet. Due to the passive
nature of the adapter and the inherent loss of the UTP cable, the picture was a little less bright, but easily
corrected with minor adjustment to the monitor brightness control.
For composite video, the balun should provide an excellent
picture in excess of 750 feet. When used in security
applications, a monochrome picture will work in excess of
1500 feet.
No power required.
AUDIO:
Digital / Analog
PINOUT
There is one audio channel available. It may be used to transport
a SPDIF digital audio signal or a mono audio signal (mono analog
signal will be attenuated slightly due to lower impedance of the
Digital Audio channel).
