7.6.3. HDBaseT Outputs
Follow these guidelines when selecting and installing the HDBaseT cable, and then follow the instructions afterward to
complete the connections for an output.
7.6.3.1. HDBaseT Wiring Recommendations
Cable Type- Shielded or Unshielded Cat5e/6
• Cable Distance Limitations:
Cat5e/Cat6:
Up to 200 ft
Cat6a: Up to 230 ft
• Use at least Category 5e high-quality twisted pair solid conductor cable rated to no less than 350 MHz bandwidth.
The higher the cable standard, the better it will perform.
• For the best results install a shielded cable. This will prevent signal dropout and artifacts from being caused by
electromagnetic and radio interference (EMI/RFI) from ceiling fans, appliances and electric motors.
• Use no more than two 5 meter or shorter, solid or stranded, 568B terminated patch cables in the run. Use shielded
patch cables if the run is shielded to maintain shield continuity.
• Use no more than two keystones or couplers in the run. Use shielded keystones or couplers with shielded cable to
maintain continuity.
• Cleanly terminate all cable ends and test every cable used before connecting the extender to avoid troubleshooting
termination problems later.
• Mark each end of the HDBaseT cable with the included labels to avoid confusion later.
Connector Type- RJ45
• Use a high quality RJ45 connector that matches or exceeds the standard of the cable in use. Shielded connectors
must be used with shielded cables, and must maintain continuity of the shield to both connectors to protect from
interference.
• We highly discourage the use of “EZ” style, open end RJ45’s with HDMI extenders.
• Always terminate RJ45 connectors in the HDBaseT signal path to the 568B termination standard as required by
HDBaseT standards.
7.6.3.2. Installation Instructions
1. Install the Cat5e/6 cable and terminate the ends. Then test the cable to ensure operation.
2. Connect the HDBaseT cable to the desired HDBaseT output of the matrix switcher.
3. Connect the HDBaseT cable to the B-500-RX-230-IR Receiver or the HDBaseT device in use.
4. Connect an HDMI cable (2 meters or shorter is recommended) between the HDMI OUT port on the Receiver
and the desired HDMI input on the Display.
5. Attach the power supply to the Receiver and power the unit.
6. Installation is complete. Test all connected inputs and outputs together to ensure reliable operation.
