CHAPTER 1: Specifications 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview The CAT5 Audio/Video Splitter simultaneously broadcasts audio and video signals over Category 5 twisted-pair cable to as many as four remote monitors and speakers up to 360 ft. (110 m) away. It consists of a Hub that you’ll connect to your PC or other video- and audio-source device(s), plus up to four Remotes that you’ll place near your monitors, speakers, or other video- and audio-destination device(s). There are four Hub models.

Each Hub also comes with: • A 6-ft. (1.8-m) HD15 male to HD15 female VGA-extension cable to attach to your video-source device. • A 6-ft. (1.8-m) stereo audio-extension cable with 3.5-mm plugs to attach to your audio-source device.

CAT5 AUDIO/VIDEO SPLITTERS 3. Installation 3.1 Before You Install • Make sure to sure the proper type of Category 5 cable. You should use 2-pair (4-wire) 24-AWG solid-core STP (shielded twisted-pair) that’s pinned straightthough (Pin 1 to Pin 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc.) • Make sure to route your cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.
CHAPTER 3: Installation 5. Plug the CAT5 twisted-pair cables that will run to your Remotes into the Hub’s RJ-45 jacks labeled “TO REMOTE UNIT.” 6. Plug the external transformer’s attached output cable to the Hub’s 4-pin DIN female connector labeled “9 VAC.” Plug the IEC 320 female end of the transformer’s input cord into the IEC 320 male inlet on the transformer. Plug the other end of the input cord into a working AC outlet.
CAT5 AUDIO/VIDEO SPLITTERS 3.3 Making Connections to Each Remote All of the Splitter Remote’s connectors are on its rear panel. Making sure that the Remote is turned off and unplugged, connect it to devices, the Hub, and power. (Refer to Figure 3-2, and keep in mind that cables to attached video and audio devices shouldn't be longer than 5 m [16.4 ft.].) 1. Plug the remote monitor’s cable into the Remote’s HD15 female connector labeled “MONITOR.” 2.
