Installation
Important! If you want to lay cables inside a cable duct or through a wall, please test your Cat.5e/6 cables
in a test installation at the highest desired resolution/colour space/colour depth combination with the
extender BEFORE you install them in your wall or cable duct!
The following steps are for an installation using HDMI equipment, if you are using DVI equipment, please
substitute the HDMI cables for DVI to HDMI cables where required.
1. Connect your HDMI source to the Transmitter unit using a HDMI cable (maximum length 3m).
2. Connect one end of the CAT5e/6 cable (max. length 50m) to the CAT port on the Transmitter and the
other end to the CAT port of the Receiver. Use solid core installation cable of at least Cat.5e UTP.
3. Set the EQ on the Receiver to the setting which matches the Cat.5e/6 cable length (see table below),
either the Primary or Secondary may be used depending on picture and cable quality.

Troubleshooting
There is no display on the screen.
▪
Check that the DC plug and jack used by external power supply is firmly connected and that the Power
LED on both the Transmitter and Receiver are illuminated.
▪
Check that the CAT5e/6 cable is seated correctly and that the Lock LED on is illuminated.
▪
Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the Transmitter unit, followed by the
display(s) and finally the source.
▪
For some HDMI devices it may be helpful to unplug and replug their HDMI connection to re-initiate the
HDMI handshake and recognition.
▪
Check that the EQ setting matches the Cat.5e/6 cable length being used. If the primary EQ setting
does not work, please try the secondary setting for the length of Cat.5e/6 cable being used.
▪
Reduce the length of CAT5e/6 or HDMI cable used, or use a higher quality cable.
