INSTALLATION/OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unpack the C5T6 distribution amplifier and power supply from box. Place the C5T6
transmitter amplifier in a dry location. It can be either mounted to a wall or in a 19
inch rack.
2. Connect the source device component video/audio outputs to the appropriate
input jacks on the C5T6. The loop out jacks can be used to feed a local monitor
or cascade
I. Note: Do not connect a Loop Out cable unless the other end is
plugged into a monitor or other 75 ohm impedance device. The
unused loop-thru connectors are internally terminated (75ohms). If
nothing is connected. A floating cable plugged into the loop output
jacks who causes a very bright, washed out looking video.
II. Note: The C5T6 can receive UTP (Unshielded twisted pair), inputs from
a remote Transmitter. The corresponding cables should be connected
to the Cable A and Cable B input RJ-45 jacks on the C5T6.
3. Two IR jacks are provided to connect to external IR controllers.
The C5T6 merely provides a transport path for the signals; the
customer must supply external IR pickups, emitters, and power
injectors as needed.
4. The C5T6 has six pairs of output jacks. Each remote location
requires both A and B cables for Video, Audio, and IR.
Connect the A and B cables to each output pair that will be
driving a remote location.
5. At the other end of the same UTP cables, connect A and B to the
CAT5RX respectively. The RCA outputs on the CAT5RX are used to
connect to the remote monitor. Repeat same process to the other
5 sets of outputs as needed.
6. Insert the power supply connector into the power jacks of the
C5T6. Plug the wall transformer into a 120Vac outlet. The C5T6
power LED should be on and the unit is ready to use.
a. Each CAT5RX will have 3 LEDs on to indicate continuity of the
CAT5 cable. If one of the Continuity LEDs is not on, there could
be a problem with the A cable. Both A and B cables should be
installed for the detector to work properly.
7. On each CAT5RX, adjust the equalization control to the
approximate length of the Cat5 cable. View the picture on the
monitor and fine tune the equalization control for the most
pleasing picture.
8. There are 1/8” mini-jacks available to allow the transport of IR
signals. This requires optional external IR system components.
9. Your installation is complete.

Applications with Only one Cable
Some users only have one CAT5 cable available and have expressed an interest in
routing the Digital Audio along with the component video on the single CAT5 cable.
This can be accomplished by splittng out the last pair (pins 7 and 8 (Brown and Brown
White) of cable A) and connect them to a second R-45 connector (once again in
positions 7 and 8). This second RJ-45 connector should be plugged into the Cable B
RJ-45 jack. This would need to be done on both the Transmitter and Receiver ends of
the system.
IR Remote and IR Emitter
These passive jacks are provided to allow the use of an external IR system. There is no
power supplied to the IR jacks internally, so the user supplied external IR blocks must
include a power inserter function.
