Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please read
these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep
this manual for future reference.
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.
SAFTY AND NOTICE
1. The transmission distances of HDMI over UTP cables are measured using TE
CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6
2. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for CAT cables is recommended for better
performance.
3. DO NOT use 568A/568B standard mixed CAT cable (cross-over cable) because there are
2 pairs swapped, this will make POE OVER-CURRENT and damage POE components.
Please use straight-through CAT cable (both RJ45 headers are 568A or 568B standard).
4. It is recommended that power up the device after connections of source, sink and CAT
cable.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in CAT cable, do
not run HDBaseT / Zone Cat5e/6/6a cabling with or in close parallel proximity to mains
power cables. Shielded CAT cables can be used to improve EMI problems, which is
worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT cables has the major effect on how long the transmission
limit can achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission
range is subject to one’s choice of CAT cables.
7. Do not substitute or use any other Power Supply other than the enclosed unit, or a Factor
Electronics approved Replacement Part. Doing so will void the warranty and potentially
expose the user to dangerous voltages resulting in an electrical shock.
8. Do not disassemble the device for any reason. Doing so will void the manufacturer’s
warranty. Also, our unique case is an integral part of the design of this unit and is
responsible for cooling and circuitry shielding. Any modifications to this case will
potentially cause malfunction and product failure.
9. Do not expose the device to water, moisture, or liquids. Possible electric shock may result
as well as failure of the unit to operate.

Introduction
The HD100BASET-BALUN(TX) HD100BaseT-Balun (RX) is an HDBaseT 2.0 HDMI Extender
featured ARC and 4 Port Ethernet Switch. It transmits 1080p@60Hz via single Cat5e up to 100
meters and 4K@60Hz (4:2:0) to 90 meters. Bi-directional IR, RS232 and Ethernet can also be
transmitted over the same Cat5e/Cat6 cable. With support of POH, only one power supply is
needed at either TX or RX side. Toslink input receiver can work with legacy products for audio
return to audio surround receiver. Besides, audio from ARC can also be extracted via both
Toslink and L/R at TX side. The extender can also be used stand-alone as an Audio extender.
Excellent performance for control and signal transmission makes the HD100BaseT-Balun is
deal in the custom installation industry, IT computer space, signal monitoring, big screen
displays, conference systems, television broadcast, education, banking and security
institutions etc.
