the location where the HDBaseT Receiver will be located (somewhere near the
display device). See the installation instructions for the 70M HDBaseT Receiver.

③If using the Control Panel, run another twisted pair cable from the 4K Wallplate
HDBaseT Transmitter location to the location that the Control Panel will be
mounted.
④All twisted pair cables should be terminated with jacks. This allows the permanent
link between the two devices to be tested.
⑤Use the appropriate category rated patch cable to connect the HDBaseT link to
the HDBT OUT connector.
⑥If using the Control Panel, use the supplied adapter cable to connect with the
second cable and follow the installation instructions for the HDBaseT Receiver
and Control Panel.
Note: We recommends Category 6A cabling with alien crosstalk prevention technology
for the performance of HDBaseT link.
