HIGH SPEED HDMI™ SINGLE CAT5E/6 EXTENDER

USER MANUAL

DirectConnect® has been working on solutions for custom installers /

system integrators who cannot get the range needed from HDMI™

cables. This high-performance DirectConnect® Extender via
CAT5e or CAT6 with cross stand inside UTP cable is the ideal

solution for professional home theater installers and home theater enthusiasts. This

solution uses a single Cat5e/6 cable as transmission media. HDMI™ cables become

extremely expensive and potentially unreliable at long length. They are typically difficult
to install with stiff heavy wire needed to overcome signal loss at longer distances. This
HDMI™ Extender allows installers to use standard Cat5e or Cat6 with cross stand inside
UTP cable to extend 1080P HDTV signals up to 164 feet (50 meters). It not only exceeds
the limitations of the most HDMI™ cables but also the use of CAT5e/6 cables permits
installers the flexibility and convenience of crimping custom cable lengths.

The use of HDMI™ Extenders with distribution amplifiers (splitters) offer unlimited
solutions for multiple HDTV display devices in retail and show environments.

 Plug and play: Installs in seconds, no extensive configuring required
 Auto-adjustment of feedback, equalization, and amplification.
 Supports highest video resolution 1080p, HDMI™ and IEEE-568B standard
 Supports 8-bit per channel (24 b it all chan nel) deep color
 Video amplifier bandwidth: 165MHz/1.65Gbps per channel (4.95Gbps all channel)
 Single Cat5e/6 UTP cable with cross stand inside, can substitute an HDMI™

cable to achieve long distance transmission up to 164 feet (50 meters).

 Supports uncompressed 2 channel audio such as LPCM
 Supports compressed audio such as DTS Digital, Dolby Digital

(Including DTS-HD and Dolby True HD)

IMPORTANT: If you do not understand correct installation instructions,

please consult your installation specialist.
