Hardware Installation
1. Install the RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables to the transmitter and
receiver units.
a) Connect two RJ45 terminated Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables (not included) to the
transmitter unit - one cable for the Link Out 1 RJ45 connector and another one for
the Link Out 2 RJ45 connector.
Note: Ensure that the Category 5/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling
between the transmitter unit and the receiver unit has been properly terminated in
a wall box in each location. Also, ensure that the patch cables are long enough to
connect the transmitter unit and the receiver unit inside their respective electrical
boxes. The cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router,
switch).
b) Connect the other ends of your terminated Cat5e/6 cable runs to the Link Out 1
and Link Out 2 RJ-45 connectors on the receiver unit.
2. Connect the power source to the transmitter or receiver unit.
Note: The HDMI extender kit only requires a single power source to be connected to
either the transmitter or receiver unit.
There are two methods for providing power to the HDMI extender kit. Please review
each method below and determine your desired method.
a) Method 1 – Using the included power adapter.
Note: If you’ve chosen Method 1 please complete step 3. (Install the extender and
receiver units into the electrical boxes) before connecting your power source.
i. Determine whether you will be connecting your power source to either the
transmitter or the receiver unit.
ii. Using the included power adapter, connect the power adapter port on either
the transmitter or receiver unit to an available wall outlet.
b) Method 2 – Using terminal DC power.
i. Determine whether you will be connecting your power source to either the
transmitter or the receiver unit.
ii. Using a small flat-head screw driver, loosen the screws for the terminal block
connectors on either the transmitter or receiver unit.
iii. Connect the power and ground wires from your DC power source to the
proper terminal block connectors and refasten the screws. The proper
terminals are marked on the transmitter/receiver unit housing.
