The DigitaLinx DL-HD2100 HDBaseT extender set extends HDMI audio, video as well as control
up to 100m / 330’ using a single Category 6 cable. Supports HDMI 2.0a, HDR10 and HDCP 2.2
as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats. Control extension supports bidireconal IR,
Ethernet, ARC and RS232. Built in re-clocking circuitry ensures that extender set is backwards
compable with older HDMI version chip sets.
The DigitaLinx DL-HD2100 can transport HDMI data rates up to 18Gbps up to 100 meters.
The system enables high data rates by ulizing visual lossless compression at a 2:1 data
compression rate when the signal surpasses 10Gbps, anything under 10Gbps will never be
compressed. Supports stac HDR (HDR10) only when data rate exceeds 18Gbps, supports
dynamic HDR (HDR10+ / Dolby Vision) when data rate is 10Gbps or less.
Built-in surge protecon and diagnosc LEDs ensure hassle-free and robust installaons.
Flexible power design allows the units to be powered at either the TX or RX end, and only one
power supply is required to power the set. The 12 volt power supply is secured with a screw-
on connector to prevent the power from being accidentally disconnected.
The DL-HD2100 is sold only as a set. The individual transmier and receiver are not compable
with other HDBaseT devices due to proprietary PoE circuitry.

Connec vity Instruc ons
1. Verify all components included with the extender set are present before
installa on.
2. If the extenders are going to be permanently mounted to a surface, a ach the
included moun ng brackets with the supplied screws.
3. Turn off power and disconnect the audio/video equipment by following the
manufacturer’s instruc ons.
4. Connect Category 6 or greater twisted pair cable with RJ45 connectors between
the transmi er and the receiver. TIA/EIA-568B straight-through wiring connec ons
must be used with all HDBaseT extenders.
5. Connect an HDMI cable and any desired control accessories between the
display and the receiver.
6. Connect an HDMI cable and any desired control accessories between the source
and the transmi er.
7. Connect the included power supply to the transmi er or receiver and lock the
power supply to the power connector by twis ng the locking collar clockwise.
8. Power on a ached audio/video devices.
Passing IR Signals:
The DL-HD2100 is capable of passing IR signals between 33 and 55 KHz. To
prevent damage to any of the electronics, the extenders should be powered off
while inser ng or removing any IR components. Inser ng an IR transmi er into
the IR IN port may damage the IR circuit for that extender.
IR OUT: The IR transmi er (IR emi er) must be plugged into the IR OUT port.
IR IN: The IR receiver (IR eye) must be plugged into the IR IN port.
To connect to a 3rd party IR system such as a control system, connect the TS
connector of the IR-AC coupling cable to the IR output port of the control
system and connect the TRS connector of the IR-AC cable to the IR IN to either
transmi er or receiver of the DL-HD2100.

units.
Cabling Requirements
RS232 Wiring
Connect the controller or device RXD signal
to Tx on the DL-HD2100 extender. Connect
the controller or device TXD signal to Rx on
the DL-HD2100 extender.
To ensure proper performance of the DL-HD2100, it is recommended that you use solid core
Category 6 F/UTP cabling at a minimum. Category 5e F/UTP may perform well but may not
support power over HDBaseT reliably.
For op mized performance use the following Liberty Wire and Cable branded cabling;
Category 6 plenum; 24-4P-P-L6SH
Category 6 NON-plenum; 24-4P-L6SH
Category 6A plenum; 24-4P-P-L6ASH
Category 6A NON -plenum; 24-4P-L6ASH
When using shielded category cabling ALWAYS...
....use shielded connectors
....properly ground the category cable
