HIGH SPEED HDMI ™
DUAL CAT5e/6 EXTENDER
WITH IR
Model# DCC5DHXIR SKU# .24094
DirectConnect® has been working on solutions system
integrators who cannot achieve long distances need from
standard HDMI™ cables. This high-performance DirectConnect® Super Extender via dual
(2)
CAT5e or CAT6
with cross stand inside UTP cable is the ideal solution for
professional home theater installers and home theater enthusiasts. This solu-
tion uses dual Cat5e/6 cables as transmission media. HDMI™ cables become
extremely expensive and potentially unreliable at long lengths. This HDMI™
Super Extender allows integrators to use standard Cat5e and Cat6 with cross
stand inside UTP cables to extend 1080P HDTV signals up to 197 feet (60 me-
ters). This exceeds the limitations of HDMI™ cables and by using Cat5e/6 cables,
allows the integrator the flexibility and convenience of crimping custom cable
lengths to the desired length needed.
The use of HDMI™ Extenders with distribution amplifiers (splitters) offers
unlimited solutions for multiple HDTV display devices in any environment.
Plug and play: Installs in seconds, no extensive configuring required
Auto-adjustment of feedback, equalization, and amplification.
Supports HDMI™ up to full 1080P & 8-bit per channel (24 bit all channel) deep color
Video amplifier bandwidth: 165MHz/1.65Gbps per channel (4.95Gbps all
channel)
Dual (2) Cat5e/6 UTP cables with cross stand inside, can substitute an
HDMI™ cable to achieve long distance transmission of 197 feet (60 me-
ters).
Supports highest video resolution 1080p, HDMI™ and IEEE-568B standard
Supports uncompressed 2 channel audio such as LPCM
Supports compressed audio such as DTS Digital, Dolby Digital (Including DTS-
HD and Dolby True HD)

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If this DirectConnect® product does not appear to be functioning, please
make certain that the source and the destination device connected to the
unit are functioning correctly. If other problems exist please check the condi-
tions below carefully.
In the event of problems, first make certain that the dual Cat5/6 cables are not
longer than specification. Next, make certain that the HDMI™ Extenders are
receiving power.
If all is well in these areas, remember that HDMI™ devices communicate with
one another so the source devices and destination device must be fully
HDMI™ capable. If you experience problems using the HDMI™ Extender, you
should attempt to determine what is wrong by attaching each of the source
devices – one at a time – directly to the destination device using the same
cables you are using with the expanded system. This is a way of determining
if the problem is due to bad cables or a problem with the other devices. If
you are unable to obtain a signal using this simplified path, double check the
cables, the source device(s) and/or the destination device.
If a DVI device does not appear to work, make certain that the device is
HDCP-compliant. A non-HDCP-compliant DVI device will not work with a
signal that has HDCP encoding present.
DO NOT open the HDMI™ extender boxes. There are no user repairable parts
inside. Once opened, all warranties will be voided.
Refer to the troubleshooting chart on page 7 for additional help.
Notice: DirectConnect® reserves the right to make changes to the hardware,
packaging and/or any accompanying documentation without prior written
notice.

CONDITION POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
No display image/LED light on
Extender Receiver is OFF
Is the power adapter connected? If a power strip is used,
is the ON/OFF switch set to “ON” position?
No display image/LED light ON
Transmitter & Receiver are ON
Is the display unit turned on? Is the display unit set to
the correct video input? Are your HDMI™ and/ or
Cat5e/6 cables damaged? Are the cables connected
properly? Please refer to the connection diagram.
Image without sound
Note: That units connected with a
DVI adapter will not have sound –
DVI is a video-only connection
standard
1- Check the display unit’s volume
2- Turn off the HDMI™ source (DVD, PS3 etc.) and power
on again. If there is still no sound, then:
3- Unplug the power adapter on the Extender transmit-
ter and receiver unit for 10 seconds and then plug
in again.
4- Repeat step 2 again if still not working.
Note: Some devices not HDMI™ certified may have
compatibility problems.
Poor picture quality
(snow, sparkles, banding, etc)
Examine the HDMI™ and/or Cat 5e/6 cable and replace
with new cables if possible. To ensure that the extender
units are operating correctly, test with the shortest
HDMI™ and/or Cat 5e/6 cable possible. Longer or
inferior/ damaged cables will compromise image quality. Use only Cat5e/6 UTP cable with cross stand inside
for the best results possible.
