TheHD‐C5HDMIAudio&VideoDualCAT5/RJ45ExtenderKitboostsupyouraudioandvideo
transmissiondistanceupto60m(200ft)inHDTV1080iformat.WithtwolowcostCat‐5e/6cables,
userscanreadilyextendHDTVsourcesfromDVDplayers,Blu‐rayDiscplayer,PS3,PC,andanyother
kindsofsourcescompliantwithTMDStodistantdisplaymonitorsincludingHDMIorDVI‐enabledTV
setsorLCDPCmonitors.ThiscosteffectiveflexibilitymakesHDCPcompliantBlu‐rayDiscplayersor
PS3transmithighqualityaudioandvideowithagreaterdistanceattheminimalcost,when
integratingseveralcomponentsapart.
TheHD‐C5includestwounits:transmittingandreceivingunits.Thetransmittingunitisusedto
transfertheHDMI/DVIsignalsinputandcarrythesignalsthroughtwolowcostCat‐5e/6cables.The
receivingunitisresponsibleforequalizingtransferredHDMImultimediadata.Thetransmission
distancebetweenthesendingandreceivingunitscanbeupto60m(200ft)underHD(720p/1080i)or
40m(130ft)underFullHD(1080p).Withan8‐levelequalizationrotarycontrolswitchonthe
receivingunit,userscanadjusttheequalizationstrengthtothereceivedHDMIsignalsaccordingly,
andthereforeoptimizethetransmissiondistancebetweenHDMIsourceanddisplay.

1. ConnectaHDMIorDVIsource(suchasaBlu‐rayDiscplayer)tothetransmittingunitofHD‐C5.
2. ConnectaHDMIorDVIdisplay(suchasaLCDHDTV)tothereceivingunitofHD‐C5.
3. ConnecttwoCat‐5e/6cablesbetweenthetransmittingandreceivingunitsviaA/VSIGNALand

4. MakesurethesetwoCat‐5e/6cablesaretightlyconnectedandnotloose.

1. IftheDVIorHDMIdevicerequirestheEDIDinformation,pleaseuseEDIDReader/Writerto
retrieveandprovideEDIDinformationoftheDVIorHDMIdisplay.
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or1,000ftbulkcables)cantransmitalotlongersignalsthanstrandedUTPcables
(usuallyintheformoffixedlengthpatchcords).AsolidUTPCat‐5ecableshowslonger
transmissionrangethana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Cat‐5e/6cablesisrecommendedforbetterperformance.
5. ToreducetheinterferenceamongtheunshieldedtwistedpairsofwiresinCat‐5e/6cables,
doubleshieldedSTPcablesarebettersuitedthanunshieldedUTPcablestoimproveEMI
problems,whichisworseninlongtransmission.
6. BecausethequalityoftheCat‐5e/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‐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.
