General Information
The Model 1170 High Denition Cat 5 MultiDriver™ Expander is a dual-use product. As a companion
product to Models 1166 or 1156, it provides six outputs to Model 9878 Cat 5 HDTV Connection Plates
(Wallplates), with all outputs following the main output of the Model 1166 or 1156. The Model 1170 is me-
chanically stackable with its host 1166 or 1156, with up to 6 Model 1170s able to be stacked together for a
total of 36 Wallplate outputs.
In its role as a capacity expander for the Model 1171 High Denition Cat 5 MultiDriver™, Model 1170 adds
6 Wallplate outputs. Up to 6 Model 1170s may be stacked with one Model 1171 in this manner, supporting a
total of up to 42 Wallplates.
In conjunction with Model 9878 Wallplates, the Model 1170 provides distribution of audio, video and IR
control signals on Cat 5 cable runs of up to 1,000 feet. The buffered Cat 5 outputs on the Model 1171 drive
from one to six 9878 Wallplates. DC power for each Wallplate is supplied by the Model 1171 through the Cat
5 cable.
The similar Model 1176 may be used with Model 1166 or 1156, if individual source selection of a Wallplate
output is desired. These products are especially well suited for residential use, but professional venues, such
as clubs and restaurants, can also benet by using them to send selectable video and/or audio to remote
locations. Models 1170 and 1176 may be mixed in one system hosted by a Model 1166 or 1156 when some
Wallplates are to have individually selectable video and some are to have common content as described
above.
