Hardware Installation
NOTE: This device will only work with the ST12MHDDC HDMI® Extender kit. Please
review the Hardware Installation steps from the ST12MHDDC manual prior to installing
additional Repeaters.
1. Install RJ-45 terminated Cat5/6 Ethernet Cable
a) Connect an RJ-45 terminated Cat5/6 Ethernet cable to the HDMI® Out Link (RJ-45
Connector) on the local Unit (Transmitter or Repeater).
NOTE: If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5/6
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Transmitter Unit to
the Remote Unit’s (Repeater/Receiver) location, and that each end is terminated
with a RJ45 connector. The cabling should not go through any networking
equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5/6 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the
Remote Unit has been properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and
there is a patch cable long enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit
to their respective outlets. The cabling should not go through any networking
equipment (i.e. router, switch).
b) Connect the other end of the Cat5/6 cable run to the RJ45 connector on the
Repeater unit.
c) (optional) When adding multiple repeaters, a run of Cat 5/6 cable will be
required from and to each device.
2. Install Repeater Unit(s)
a) Position the Repeater Unit near the video display (i.e. television, projector) within
330 ft. (100 meters) from the level up device be it the initial transmitter or
another repeater.
b) Connect the video source to the HDMI® Out on the Repeater Unit using an
HDMI® cable.
c) Connect the Cat5/6 cable positioned in Step 1 to the”HDMI® In Link (RJ-45
Connector)” on the Repeater. Connect the Repeater Unit power supply. The
Power LED will light, and LINK LED will turn on after a successful connection
between both units is established. This may take several seconds.
