Zektor SoloCAT™ HD - Manual (Page 7)

3. Installation
1. Turn off power at connected sources
2. Connect the HDMI® extension cable between the source
and the “HDMI® IN” port of the SoloCAT HD™
3. Connect the HDMI® cable between the display and the
“HDMI® OUT” port of SoloCAT HD™
4. Connect the CAT.5 cables between the HDMI-ELW
“LINK”
port and the HDMI-SRW or HDMI-ERW
“LINK” port of
extender.
5. Connect the power cord and turn on the extender.
6. Turn on the source(s) and display(s)
Note: when
the SoloCAT HD™ is in BYPASS mode the LINK
port should be left unused.
7. Use CAT5e/6 cables to link the transmitter and the receiver.
As in all installations, poor quality cable will result in lesser
quality results and occasionally intermittent problems. However,
in our testing we used off the shelf CAT5e cable from Home
Depot® which worked fine and provided an outstanding result.
Zektor recommends using EIA/TIA 568B for CAT5e/6
termination. We have included a reference diagram below for
your convenience.
8. Make sure that the source, the transmitter, the receiver and
the displays are all properly connected. Zektor has designed
and manufactured a new HDMI cable support bracket, the
Zektor Gripper™, to help ensure that your HDMI cable remains
properly connected to our transmit / receive pair.
9. Connect your serial cables if using the bi directional serial
function.
10. Properly install your IR blaster and sender. Incorrect
installation can damage your SoloCAT HD
™ extender pair. If
TX/RX (transmit & receive) are mistakenly connected in the
wrong connections, the IR eye can get damaged. 3rd party IR
emitters/blasters, must be able to handle up to 60 KHz

Note: After initial power on, allow for EDID verification and
HDCP handshake. A visible image at the display after initial
power on can take up to 5 seconds.
