Surge protection device
recommended
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 minimize interference of the unshielded twisted pairs in the CAT5e/6
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.

The Blustream HEX100ARC is a HDMI extender solution enabling a
single CAT5e/6 cable to distribute HDMI, bi-directional IR, RS232 and
Ethernet up to 100 metres by utilizing full HDbaseT technology. Not
only can the HEX100ARC send HDMI, IR, RS232 and Ethernet over a
single CAT5e/6 cable but it also has the ability to send audio back
from a display over the same CAT5e/6 cable via an ARC (Audio Return
Channel) or from a TOSLINK (optical) output on a display. The
HEX100ARC Tx audio outputs are via HDMI (ARC), TOSLINK (optical) or
analogue audio extracted from the PCM digital audio feed.
Introduction
• Audio Return Channel (ARC) support.
• Audio extractor for ARC at transmit-
ter side via TOSLINK and analogue
audio
• Ethernet pass through with 3-way
Ethernet switcher
• HDMI v1.4 and HDCP compliant,
support 1080p@60Hz, 3D and 4K.
• Support 1080P@60Hz or VESA:
1920x1200@60Hz up to 100m,
4K up to 60m.
• Transmission distance for ARC up
to 90m
• Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD master
audio pass through HDMI output
• Bi-Directional IR and RS232
• POH (Power over HDBT) supported,
only one power supply needed at
either transmitter or receiver side.
FEATURES:
Note: The POH function is designed for powering compatible transmitter or receiver units of Blustream only.
Do not connect any part of this equipment to Power over Ethernet devices. Damage may result.
