INTRODUCTION
The C5-RFWM is a stand-alone device that transforms a CATV signal to and from CAT-5
twisted pair cabling. It has two sets of simple connections. The first is a female F connector
for the line RF CATV signal. The second is a shielded CAT-5 connector for the CAT-5 twisted
pair connection. The circuitry is passive so there is no need for a power supply.
In today’s retrofit market an installer cannot always successfully run a wire from point A to
point B. There exists however an abundance of twisted pair cabling in many homes. By using
a pair of these devices with an existing wire an installer may be able to complete a job that he
otherwise could not.
