The Lynx®Television Network

• Distributes up to 528 digital channels on
Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable

• Excellent for CATV, SMATV, or off-air
television distribution

• Simplifies cabling requirements

• Increases flexibility for moves, adds and
changes

• Improves reliability

• Creates a technology bridge to IPTV

The Lynx Television Network simultaneously delivers up
to 176 HDTV channels, 528 standard digital channels, or
134 analog channels on Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable.
Frequency capabilities are 5 MHz to 860 MHz.

A Lynx hub in the wiring closet converts an unbalanced
coaxial signal into eight or sixteen balanced signals
transmitted on twisted pair cables. At the point of use a
wallplate F or single port converter changes the signal
back to coaxial form.

The Lynx Network simplifies cable requirements by
reducing the need for coax. Now television, phone, and
data can all be delivered on twisted pair cables. This
simplifies installation, standardizes the wiring, and
reduces maintenance requirements.

The Lynx Network increases system flexibility because
moves, adds, and changes are easy with Cat 5/6 cable.

A homerun wiring design improves reliability because
there are no taps or splitters between the distribution
hub and the TV.

The Lynx Network also provides a “technology bridge” to
IPTV by using the same infrastructure that IPTV will use.

A patented RF balun is the centerpiece of the Lynx
design. A pair of send / receive baluns delivers a clean
RF signal to each TV (on pair four). The baluns use an
RF technology that delivers HD, digital, and analog
channels on network cables without using any band­width on the network itself.

The hubs and point of use converters do not require
external power, and are bi-directional. External RF
amplifiers compensate for cable and insertion losses.

Television, HDTV, and Cable TV

on CAT 5 or CAT 6 Cable

Residential packages are available for applications with one to four TVs. These packages are capable of delivering the full range
of HD, digital, and analog channels. They include a bi-directional amplifier, Lynx converters, connectors, coax jumpers, and patch
cords.

Two types of packages are available. Packages with a 20 dB amp are typically used to deliver “basic” cable TV service with fre­quencies up to 550MHz. They can also deliver the “channel 3” output from the F connector on a satellite receiver. Packages with
a 35 dB amp are typically used to deliver “premium” cable TV packages or off-air television with frequencies up to 860 MHz. The
table below shows distance capabilities for each package.
