This product contains sensitive electrical
components that may be damaged by
electrical spikes, surges, electric shock,
lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection
systems is highly recommended in order
to protect and extend the life of your
equipment.
Safety And
Performance Notice
The transmission distances of HDMI
over UTP cables are measured using
TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6
EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B)
of cables is recommended for optimal
performance.
To minimise interference of the unshielded
twisted pairs in the CAT5e/6/6a cable do
not run the HDBaseT / CAT5e/6/6a cabling
with or in close parallel proximity to mains
power cables.
Do not substitute or use any other power
supply other than the enclosed unit, or a
Blustream approved replacement.
Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or
Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will
void the manufacturer’s warranty.
