HIGH SPEED HDMI™ SINGLE CAT5E/6 EXTENDER
USER MANUAL
DirectConnect®has been working on solutions for custom installers /
system integrators who cannot get the range needed from HDMI™
cables. This high-performance DirectConnect® Extender via
CAT5e or CAT6 with cross stand inside UTP cable is the ideal
solution for professional home theater installers and home theater enthusiasts. This
solution uses a single Cat5e/6 cable as transmission media. HDMI™ cables become
extremely expensive and potentially unreliable at long length. They are typically difficult
to install with stiff heavy wire needed to overcome signal loss at longer distances. This
HDMI™ Extender allows installers to use standard Cat5e or Cat6 with cross stand inside
UTP cable to extend 1080P HDTV signals up to 164 feet (50 meters). It not only exceeds
the limitations of the most HDMI™ cables but also the use of CAT5e/6 cables permits
installers the flexibility and convenience of crimping custom cable lengths.
The use of HDMI™Extenders with distribution amplifiers (splitters) offer unlimited
solutions for multiple HDTV display devices in retail andshow environments.
Plug and play: Installs in seconds, no extensive configuring required
Auto-adjustment of feedback, equalization, and amplification.
Supports highest video resolution 1080p, HDMI™ and IEEE-568B standard
Supports 8-bit per channel (24 bit all channel) deep color
Video amplifier bandwidth: 165MHz/1.65Gbps per channel (4.95Gbps all channel)
Single Cat5e/6 UTP cable with cross stand inside, can substitute an HDMI™
cable to achieve long distance transmission up to 164 feet (50 meters).
Supports uncompressed 2 channel audio such as LPCM
Supports compressed audio such as DTS Digital, Dolby Digital
(Including DTS-HD and Dolby True HD)
IMPORTANT:If you do not understand correct installation instructions,
please consult your installation specialist.

2.0 FEATURES
This high-performance DirectConnect® Extender via CAT5e or CAT6 with cross
stand inside UTP cable has many benefits and features that enable it to perform in a
superior manner. Among those benefits and features you will find:
HDMI™ cable length is fixed and unchangeable after it is produced. HDMI™
connectors can only be soldered or terminated by the professional
manufacturers that produce them, the installer and/or users cannot modify by
themselves. However Cat5e or Cat6 with cross stand inside UTP cable is
readily available and may be processed easily by the installer and /or end user.
HDMI™ cables are not easy to bend and the connectors are large to pull
through conduit and the wall. However, Cat5e/6 cable has no such problems.
Uses Cat5e or Cat6 with cross stand inside UTP cable to substitute for HDMI™
cable to achieve long distance transmission without signal loss.
Auto-adjustment of feedback, equalization and amplification.
Supports up to1080p, uncompressed 2 channel audio, and IEEE-568B standard.

* Please refer to connection diagram section (P a ge 5) .
2) Connect a single Cat-5e or Cat6 with cross stand inside UTP cable between
the transmitter and receiver units. Please use EIA/TIA-568 termination (T568B).
3) Connect the HDMI™ display device to the receiver unit output port (HDMI™OUT)
4) Insert the DC side of the 5v power supply into the transmitter and receiver
before connecting to the wall outlet. Then connect the AC side of the power
supply into the wall outlet (ideally the AC power should be surge suppressed and filtered).
Attention: Insert/Remove cables gently & avoid twisting/kinking your HDMI™ cables.

4.2 CONNECTION DIAGRAM
1080P Single Cat6 164 feet (50 meter)
Note: In order to achieve the highest transmission quality, please choose unshielded Cat5e or Cat6
and terminate with metal RJ-45 connectors . Higher-resolutions and longer transmission distances
require low skew cables for the best performance.
1. The cables with lower quality will not achieve the perfect transmission effect and long distance.
2. Theoretically the function of this product is normal when adopting short distance transmission.
If this product cannot transmit long distance, there may be quality problems in the transmission cables.

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If this DirectConnect®product does not appear to be functioning, please make
certain that the source and the destination device connected to the unit are
functioning correctly. If other problems exist please check the conditions below carefully.
In the event of problems, first make certain that the single Cat5/6 cable is not longer than
specifications. Next, make certain that the HDMI™ Extenders are receiving power.
If all is well in these areas, remember that HDMI™ devices communicate with one
another so the source devices and destination device must be fully HDMI™ capable. If
you experience problems using the HDMI™Extender, you should attempt to determine
what is wrong by attaching each of the source devices –one at a time –directly to the
destination device using the same cables you are using with the expanded system.
This is a way of determining if the problem is due to bad cables or a problem with the
other devices. If you are unable to obtain a signal using this simplified path, double
check the cables, the source device(s) and/or the destination device.
CONDITION
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
No display image/LED light on
Extender Receiver is OFF
Is the power adapter connected? If a power strip is used, is
the ON/OFF switch set to “ON” position?
No display image/LED light ON
Transmitter & Receiver are ON
Is the display unit turned on? Is the display unit set to the
correct video input? Are your HDMI™and/ or Cat5e/6
cables damaged? Are the cables connected properly?
Please refer to the connection diagram.
Image without sound
Note: That units connected with a DVI
adapter will not have sound –
DVI is a video-only connection
standard
1- Check the display unit’s volume
2- Turn off the HDMI™source (DVD, PS3 etc.) and power on
again. If there is still no sound, then:
3- Unplug the power adapter on the Extender transmitter
and receiver unit for 10 seconds and then plug in again.
4- Repeat step 2 again if still not working.
Note: Some devices not HDMI™certified may have compatibility problems.
Poor picture quality
(snow, sparkles, banding, etc)
Examine the HDMI™and/or Cat 5e/6 cable and replace with
new cables if possible. To ensure that the extender units
are operating correctly, test with the shortest HDMI™ and/or
Cat 5e/6 cable possible. Longer or inferior/ damaged cables
will compromise image quality. Use only Cat5e/6 UTP cable
with cross stand inside for the best results possible.
DO NOT open the HDMI™extender boxes. There are no user repairable parts inside.
Once opened, DirectConnect®is not responsible. For other problems, please
contact DirectConnect®at 800.531.3224. http://www.directconnecthome.com
