One (1) RJ45S for Cat 5e/6 unshielded or shielded twisted pair.
One (1) 3.5mm jacks for 1-way IR (emitter or sensor) (IR port
supports carrier wave from 38 to 60KHz)
Note: HDMI cables not included.
Maximum Distance
Based on a maximum
length of 6.6 ft (2 m) of
HDMI cable per end.
30m (100ft) at 4K/60 (4:4:4) uncompressed over Cat 6a/7

45m (148ft) at 1080p/60 uncompressed over Cat 6a/7
Note: When installed in an electrically noisy environment, an
STP cable must be used. Also, cross-connection reduces the
effective distance depending on the grade of twisted cable
used.

Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI 2.0 Extender Kit allows HDMI equipment supporting uncompressed video
up to 4K/60 (4:4:4) resolutions to be connected over Cat6a/7 unshielded twisted pair
cable in a point-to-point configuration at distances up to 30m at 4K/60, 40m at 4K/30
and 45m at 1080p. The unit supports HDCP 2.2, and audio pass-through up to Dolby
Atmos & DTS:X. The HDMI 2.0 Extender Kit supports a 1-way IR port (carrier wave)
for remote control of end devices. The kit comes with one (1) Transmitter and one (1)
Receiver as well as an IR Emitter and IR Sensor for remote control applications.
Applications
Applications include commercial and residential AV systems, classroom projector
systems, digital signage, boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, and medical
information systems.
Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter and Receiver as indicated on the product
labels.Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver is
within MuxLab specifications (see Specifications table).
2. To install the Transmitter:
2a Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant
cable.
2b Connect one (1) length of Cat 6 (or higher) grade UTP cables to
RJ45 LINK connectors on the Transmitter.
3. To install the Receiver:

3a Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI
compliant cable.
3b Connect the one (1) Cat 6 cable to RJ45 LINK connectors on the
Receiver.
4. This kit supports PoC, allowing the Transmitter to power the Receiver, or the
Receiver to power the Transmitter. Connect the 12VDC power supply to either the
Receiver or Transmitter first, and then plug the power supply into an AC power
outlet. If power is present, the blue power LED of the Transmitter and the Receiver
will be ON.
Note: Power the HDMI Extender only after all connections are made.
5. Power the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality.
6. Connect the IR Sensor to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of the receiver and the IR
Emitter to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
Note: You can differentiate the IR Sensor and the IR Emitter by looking at the
3.5 mm plug. The IR Sensor is using a Stereo Plug (3 Contacts) and the IR
Emitter a mono plug (2 Contacts).
7. Position the IR Sensor so that it is directed to the hand-held remote control. For a
clear IR signal reception, aim the hand-held remote control to the top of the IR
Sensor enclosure.
8. Position the IR Emitter as close as possible to the source’s IR Sensor (i.e. DVD
player). For a clear IR signal reception, the IR Emitter can be glued on the source’s
IR Sensor. The IR Emitter’s signal is transmitted from the side of the enclosure.
9. If infrared remote control is needed to control the Display equipment from the
Source, connect the IR Emitter to the 3.5mm Stereo Jack of the receiver and the IR
Sensor to the 3.5mm Mono Jack of the Transmitter.
10. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
