2 Product outline
The HDC-TH100WP (hereafter referred to as “HDC”) is a HDMI wallplate transmitter designed for a long-haul
transmission over a twisted pair cable.
Input video signal is converted to HDBaseT signal and transmitted up to 328 ft. (100 m).
The HDC supports 4K @60 and transmits input signals without compression or process so that these signals
can keep the quality.
The HDC also supports PoH (Power over HDBaseT). Connecting to a receiver supporting PoH power supply
(PSE) function eliminates the need for a local power supply.

6 Precautions
6.1 Power supply
The HDC can be powered by either of:
・From a device supporting PoH PSE (IEEE 802.3af)
or
・From DC 12 V power supply
Note:
When using PoH, do not use the DC 12V power supply.
■Powered from a device supporting PoH (PSE)
Power is provided from a device supporting PoH over a twisted pair cable that is connected to an HDBaseT
output connector. Turn all devices off when connecting to the twisted pair cable.

6.2 Cable
6.2.1 Twisted pair cable for extension
To ensure the best performance of twisted pair cables, select a correct twisted pair cable and connect it
correctly.
・Cat5e UTP/STP and Cat6 UTP/STP can be used, but we recommend CAT.5E HDC cable* for
optimal performance.
・If using an STP cable, connect the FG connector to a ground source. Otherwise, the shielding
feature does not work correctly. When using a UTP cable, we still recommend using the ground
connector.
・The shielded STP cables are less affected by interference or external noise than UTP cables.
・Connectors for long-haul extension are the same as that of eight-core modular connector used for
Ethernet, but the transmission system is not the same so that it cannot be connected to Ethernet.
・The maximum extension distance of a twisted pair cables is the shorter distance of the maximum
extension distances of transmitter/receiver/sink device connected to the HDC.
・Pin assignments: T568A or T568B straight
・Do not pull the cable hard. The allowable tension of the twisted pair cable is 110 N.
・Do not bend the connection cable at a sharp angle. Keep the bend radius four times of the cable
diameter or larger.
・Do not tie the cable tightly; leave a space allowing the cable to move slightly.
・If you use multiple twisted pair cables, we recommended keeping a distance between the cables or
not to place the cables closely in parallel.
・Keep the twisted pair cable as straight as you can. If you coil the cable, it is easily affected by
noise.
・Do not place the cable in an electrically noisy environment, since high-speed signals are
transmitted. Particularly when you use a high-output radio around the HDC, video or audio may be
interrupted.
・If the total extension distance from the transmitter to receiver is 328 ft. (100 m) or less, up to two
cable joints can be used. Products supporting Cat6A (10GBase-T) are recommended. However,
the extension distance of high-resolution transmission, such as 4K, may be shortened about 10%.
・Use AWG 24 or ticker cable for PoH.
・The table below shows supported extension distance for each twisted pair cable category. Note
that the distance may shorten depending on the actual environment.

*The CAT.5E HDC cable is a double-shielded twisted pair cable that optimizes video signal transmission.
It is certified to 500 MHz bandwidth at distance up to 330 feet (100 m) and verified to meet requirements
specified by HDBaseT Alliance. The double-shielded structure protects video signal from outside
interference.
Note:
If there is a problem in the transmission path, video or audio may be interrupted. Check the precautions above.
If the problem still cannot be solved, shortening the twisted pair cable may remedy the problem.
6.2.2 Cabling
When connecting the HDC to external devices, please observe the following precautions.
・Read manuals for the external devices.
・Before you connecting cables to the HDC or an external device, dissipate static electricity by touching
grounded metal such as racks before handling signal cables. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
・Power all units off before connecting cables.
・Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stress on connectors.

7 Installation
When installing the HDC, observe the following precautions:
・Wall thickness: 0.6 in. (15 mm) or thicker
・When the HDC needs to be installed in an enclosed space or switch box, maintain the following
sufficient clearances to provide adequate ventilation: 1.6 in. (40 mm) or more around the HDC or
