Surge protection device
recommended
This product contains sensitive electrical compo-
nents that may be damaged by electrical spikes,
surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use
of surge protection systems is highly recom-
mended 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 minimize 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 ELAN approved
replacement.
Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or
Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
Thank you for purchasing
this product.
For optimum performance and safety, please
read these instructions carefully before con-
necting, operating or adjusting this product.

Terminating HDBaseT CAT cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the ELAN 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 wiring 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. ELAN recommends using a CAT6 cable for your installations, especially when running over longer
distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.
