Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the LINDY HDMI Daisy Chain Cat.5e/6 Extender. This extender allows you to
transmit an HDMI video signal to a series of remote displays/projectors up to a distance of up to 150m
between each Transmitter and Receiver/Repeater using high quality Cat.5e/6 solid core cables.

Each HDMI Receiver/Repeater unit features a HDMI output port for local connection of a
display/projector and two RJ45 output ports allowing further Receiver/Repeaters to be cascaded. This
allows a single Transmitter to be used with up to 100 displays/projectors by cascading through multiple
layers.

Please Note: Network components are not required and not allowed in this daisy chain system!

Installation and Operation

ATTENTION! Do not connect these units to an active Ethernet Network! These are NOT Ethernet

devices: they only use Ethernet standard cables for the connections and they can’t work through

Ethernet active devices like switch, router, etc.

This device doesn’t support any EDID forwarding or cloning. Please be sure that the the displays and
sources can work in a video mode included in the table you can find in the section “EDID Presets” at the
end of this manual.

Please use short HDMI cables (i.e. 0.5m: No.41110, 1m: No.41111) to connect the extender units to the

monitors. This will ensure the best results.

Please switch off all the devices involved in the installation before starting to make any
connection.

For the installation, please use the following steps:

1) Connect the remote displays / projectors to the receiver / repeater units with a HDMI cable.

2) Connect an RJ45 connector of the Cat.5e/6 cable(s) to all the receiver / repeater units to be
installed (Cat.5 In)

3) Connect the other RJ45 connector of the Cat.5e cable(s) to the transmitter unit (Cat.5 Out.). If

using multiple Receiver/Repeaters connect them together in the required configuration using

Cat.5e/6 cable(s) too.

4) Connect the HDMI video source to the related Input port on the transmitter unit using a HDMI
cable.

5) Connect the Power Supply Units to the DC power ports on the transmitter and receiver units and
then to the mains power socket.

6) Switch on all the source and display devices.

Troubleshooting

There is no display on a screen.

 Make sure you have NOT used any active networking devices in the extender network
 Check that the DC plug and jack used by external power supply are firmly connected.
 Check that the CAT5e/6 cable is plugged in correctly and that the Power LED is light
 Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active.
 Reduce the length of CAT5e/6 or HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.
 Check if the video mode you are using is included in the table “EDID Presets” at the end of this

manual.

If the problem persist please contact LINDY technical support teams for help.
