CAT5 MULTI VIDEO SYSTEM

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Cabling Considerations

• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the CAT5 Multi Video
System components before applying power.
• Makes sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply
with the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification.

3.2 Making the Connections

3.2.1 C S G
ONNECTIONS AND ETUP IN ENERAL
1. Connect the RJ-45 cable from a CAT5 Multi Video System transmitter unit or
other 1x9 Video Distribution Amp into the port labeled UTP IN.
2. Connect RJ-45 cables from CAT5 Multi Video System receiver units into the
ports labeled OUTPUTS.
3. The port labeled UTP THRU may be used to cascade to other 1x9 Video
Distribution Amps or can be used with a CAT5 Multi Video System receiver.
4. Connect the power supply to the unit.
5. Connect the included ground cable to the rear gold thumbscrew and the other
end to a suitable earth ground. The grounding is required in instances where LCD
monitors are used that do not provide a ground via the DC power adapter. Failure
to connect the ground cable may result in loss of video signals.

ONNECTIONS ON THE IDEO
The CAT5 Multi Video System 1x9 Distribution Amp utilizes industry standard
CAT5 cabling to connect a CAT5 Multi Video System transmitter and receivers.
Additional 1x9 Distribution Amps may be cascaded via the UTP THRU output or
any other output if necessary.
Figure 3-1 shows the 1x9 Distribution Amp connections.
