READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 1:5 SPLITTER FOR HDMI OVER CAT-5
1:5 Splitter For HDMI Over CAT-5 will split the HDMI signal to 5 HDMI •
outputs. 4 of these outputs can be sent over CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables
to remote locations while the last output can be used for local use.
An short HDMI jumper cable (4 are included) must be connected from each of •
the lower board HDMI outputs to each of the upper board HDMI inputs to use
the extension capabilities of the 1:5 Splitter For HDMI Over CAT-5.
The maximum cable extension is 300 feet (91 meters) for video resolutions •
of 1080i and below.
The maximum cable extension is 150 feet (45 meters) for video resolutions •
of 1080p.
If EMI is present anywhere near the CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 video cable •
runs, it may be necessary to use shielded cable. This is to prevent possible
interference from degrading the video signal. Using shielded cable, however,
will reduce the maximum distance that the cable can be run.
Extensions under 130 feet can use Auto EQ (which is on by default). •
Extensions over 130 feet will require you to manually EQ your signal (see
page 10).
Each cable run must be one continuous run from one end to the other. No •
splices or use of punch down blocks.
High quality CAT-6 cabling should be used for maximum performance. •
Do not use stranded or low/no skew cabling. Solid core cabling should be •
used for maximum performance.
HDMI 1.2 Compliant. •
HDCP Compliant. •
