Installation
One splitter and up to 3 audio analog balun (500028) can be used to complete the
system via UTP cable.
Caution: Do not attempt to open the housing. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the box. Opening the unit will void your warranty.
Do not connect the unit to a telecommunication outlet wired to unrelated
equipment. Making such a connection may damage the equipment and/or
the balun. Verify that the desired twisted pairs are not being used for
other LAN or telephone equipment.
1. Use a dedicated 4-pair Cat5e/6 cable between the source and the receiver balun. A patch
panel can also be used.
2. Verify the wiring is “straight-through”, has 4 twisted pairs and has the standard Ethernet
RJ45 plug.
3. Each connector (#1, 2, 3& 4) can be used for input or output. Only one source can
be used.
4. Cascading multiple units is not recommended.
5. At the destination point, connect the passive balun Audio receiver (or AV receiver)
or Muxlab Amplifier (500219).
