The 4KDPKVMXT-100M is a 100 m 4K DisplayPort over HDBT Extender with USB 2.0 and Audio Passthrough, and distributes
uncompressed 4K @ 30 Hz UHD video, audio, power, RS-232 and USB 2.0 up to 328 feet (100 m) over a single CATx cable.
With USB 2.0 passthrough, it enables users to control or monitor a remote server in a harsh environment, or operate physically
inaccessible PCs, servers or workstations remotely. And bi-directional audio passthrough allows audio distribution in both directions.
With 48 V PoE integrated inside, it just needs one power supply connected to the TX unit to power both units. Its 12-V power supply is
secured with a screw-on connector to prevent the power from being accidentally disconnected. LEDs indicate that power is connected
and show an established connection between devices.
2.2 FEATURES
Using CAT6a/7 cables, outputs 4K x 2K @ 30 Hz up to 328 feet (100 m) or 1080p @ 60 Hz up to 328 feet (100 m)
Using CAT5e/6 cables, outputs 4K x 2K @ 30 Hz up to 295 feet (90 m) or 1080p @ 60 Hz up to 328 feet (100 m)
Supports DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4K @ 30 Hz with HDCP 1.3 compliance
Offers USB 2.0 passthrough over HDBaseT, with USB-Host built in TX and USB-Device built in RX
Enables bi-directional stereo line audio passthrough over HDBaseT
Supports RS-232 and EDID passthrough over HDBaseT
Provides one-way PoE, TX (PSE) with a PSU to power both TX and RX (PD)
All connectors are on one side for easy installation

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND WIRING
1. Using a quality DisplayPort cable, connect a DisplayPort source to the DP in connector on the Transmitter.
NOTE: Make sure the source and display are 4K compatible if attempting to transmit an Ultra HD signal — check that all devices
are correctly configured for input/output compatibility.
2. Connect a good quality, well-terminated CAT5e/6/7 cable between the HDBT Out connector of the Transmitter to the HDBT In
connector of the Receiver.
NOTE: 230 feet (70 meters) @ 4K or 328 feet (100 meters) @ 1080 p video are maximum recommended transmission distances
for this model under perfect transmission conditions — including straight cable runs with no electrical interference, bends,
kinks, patch panels or wall outlets. If any of the above factors are marginal in your installation, transmission range
may be affected — be careful to avoid where possible.
3. Connect the DisplayPort display device (LED/LCD display or projector) to the DP Out connector of the Receiver.
NOTE: We strongly recommended using the supplied mounting brackets to secure the receiver to a flat surface behind/near
the display device. Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture/sound if connections become loose
or strained, resulting in unnecessary service callbacks.
4. Connect the included 12-V power supply to the Transmitter. The PoE function carries power along the length of the cable one-way
to power the Receiver. No additional power supply is required at the display end of the cable run.
Check that the Power, Status, and HDCP and Link lights are illuminated on both units to indicate successful connection,
with a lit HDCP light illustrating the presence of encryption within the signal. Power and Link are static lights. The Status LED
should be blinking.

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to connect this device to a personal computer or other
Class B certified device.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques
de classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.
