The SW-52ED can be mounted in three ways: as a single unit in a rack, with a second unit in a rack, or
against a wall/table using the mounting plates.
Single unit mounting will use the long rack ear and short rack ear to affix the unit to the rack.
Two unit mounting will use two short rack ears (the second will be in the box with the second unit) and two
mountings plates to affix the two units together inside the rack.
Wall/table mounting will use both mounting plates to affix the unit to a table or wall.

Important! 4K (UHD) signals are sensitive to cable quality and installation technique. It is recommended to
use CAT6a/7 solid core cables for best results.
Note: For cable distances see the specifications on page 10
Connector
Connector type and size is very important to ensure extenders work correctly. Please use the
matching cable type with the correct RJ45 connector.
CAT5e and CAT 6 cables should use only CAT5e RJ45 connectors
CAT6a cables should use only CAT6a connectors
CAT7 cables should use only CAT7 connectors
Using the wrong size of connectors may result in interference causing loss of signal.
Important! “EZ RJ45 connectors” are not recommended with HDBaseT extenders. Doing so may result in stray EMI/RFI
signals to be picked up and interfere with audio and video transmission.

Captive Screw
Captive screw connectors are an added feature on the UHD-SW. The Captive screw connectors allow you to
cut cables down to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter while providing a more reliable connection.
Connecting
When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be
terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector has a contact plate at the top and must have the
wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture A) the signal will pass, incorrectly (see
picture B) no signal will pass.
The captive screw connectors have

a contact bar that is adjusted to
compress the wire against the top
contact plate. Use the screws at the
top of the connector to compress the
wire against the contact plate.

Female captive screw connectors are included: Power (see picture 1),
RS-232 (see picture 2), and IR (see picture 3).

The power cable (picture

wires. Each wire is
encased in a different
colored cover.

Pin out color will differ
per RS-232 cable.
Turn the screws clockwise to
raise the contact bar to the
upper contact plate and hold
the wires in place.
Clockwise
Turn the screws counter
clockwise to lower the
contact bar to release the
wires.
RS-232 pin out will be
determined by the RS-232
cable and will connect as Rx
(receiver), Tx (transmitter), and
(ground). (See picture 5)
Counter
Clockwise
The wires of the emitter and receiver have been marked to differentiate the pin outs.
The included IR emitter has two wires: signal and ground. Signal will have a solid line and ground will be
blank. The IR emitter will plug into the IR OUT ports.
There are three wires on the IR receiver (sold separately): signal, ground, and power. Signal has a dotted line,
ground will be blank, and power will have a solid line. The IR receiver will plug into the IR IN ports.

Analog Audio
A captive screw analog audio connector is provided to ensure a more reliable and secure
connection. The captive screw connector supports balanced and unbalanced audio output.
Balanced audio connections use two signal wires and a ground to ensure the least amount of
interference to an audio signal over longer cable runs. Unbalanced audio connections use two
wires for shorter audio runs.

Note: Pin outs may vary, please refer to the audio device’s manual to ensure a correct connection.
Important! When terminating cables, please ensure exposed adjacent wires do not touch. This may result in a short
that can damage connected devices.
