INTRODUCTION
The SP-5018KP 1x9 HDMI over Single CAT5 Splitter with Local Output provides the most flexible
solution by which the high definition video and high quality audio can be transmitted to different locations
over a long distance. The devices are cascadable, allowing you to extend HDMI compliant displays
almost anywhere. The input HDMI source can be duplicated and distributed to up to 9 HDMI-enabled
displays through cost effective Cat-5/5e/6 cables with CAT5 receivers (CV-735) and/or mini-receivers
(CV-715s). The SP-5018KP has a local HDMI output for easy monitoring or cascading to another HDMI
splitter. With the built in equalization, the input HDMI cable can be extended up to 20 meters long under
Full HD 1080p, and make the overall transmission distance superior than regular HDMI splitters in the
market.
FEATURES
●Support HDMI Deep Color & full 3D
●HDCP compliant
●Regenerates the HDMI signal
●Supports default HDMI EDID and has the ability to learn the EDID of displays
●Extends up to 20m of input HDMI cable
●Extends up to 40m of output Cat-5/5e/6 cable under Full HD (1080p)
●Pure unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over CAT5/6 cable transmission
●Allows cascading
●Perfectly integrated with other HDMI over CAT5 series products
●1RU rack mountable
PACKAGE CONTENTS
●1x SP-5018KP ●1x Rack-mounting ear set
●1x DC 5V 4A in-line with C7 power cord ●1x User Manual
The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables.Higher resolutions and
longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance.
Unshielded CAT6with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.

NOTICE
1. If the DVI or HDMI device requires the EDID information, please use EDID Reader/Writer to retrieve
and provide DVI or HDMI display EDID information.
2. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3. The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI sources,
and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m
bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of fixed
length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid UTP
Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable. For long extension
applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for category cables is recommended.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can
use double shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can
achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to one’s
choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is
recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the first HDMI input [HDMI input 1]
generally can produce better transmission performance among all HDMI inputs.
