Wolfpack Component Video Matrix Switch
Cat5 Cables and Receivers
HD Video Quality & Cable Length
The WolfPack system supports several types of HDTV Supply Cat5
receivers for different applications.
Active Receivers
They can be used from 1foot to 1,000 feet cable lengths. The Active Receiver has
an auto equalizer that detects the cable length and adjusts the built in line equalizer
for optimum picture quality.
Extender with Audio – Like the above, but supports a second Cat5 cable adding
digital and analog audio. These features are not supported by the WolfPack, but
can be used to bring in audio from other HDTV Supply matrix switchers.
Passive Receivers
They can be used from 1 foot to 125 feet. No cable loss equalization is performed,
but produces a high quality image for a lower cost.
Tip: Only use WolfPack Cat5 receivers with this system.
Using third party Cat5 receivers or baluns can
cause damage to the system and is not covered under
the warranty.
CATx cable types
Output cables can be Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6. When using passive receivers, the best
performance will come with Cat6. When using active receivers, best performance
will come with Cat5e. The performance difference between the cable types is
difficult to perceive on the display, so for most purposes any cable from Cat5 to
Cat6 will do.
Cable Termination & Installation
Tip: When connecting video cables or Cat5 cables,
remove the AC power to both power supplies. Power
up the unit when all the cabling has been
completed.
