Installation Instructions
1. Find a safe and convenient location for the KD-CAT5XST unit.
Before permanently securing the unit or final installation of cabling
➔
behind walls or ceilings, test for proper operation of the unit and the
cables in your system.
2. Connect your audio source to the audio ports of the KD-CAT5XST intended
as the transmitting device.
Please note that each KD-CAT5XST unit can be used as either the transmitting or
➔
receiving device. Therefore, it makes no difference in the order in which they are
connected. Additionally, any FatCAT Series
ST or Wall Plate version) is interchangeable and can be used with any other
FatCAT version.
3. Connect one end of your CAT5 cable to the CAT5 port of the KD-CAT5XST
intended as the transmitting device and the other end of your CAT5 cable
to the CAT5 port of the KD-CAT5XST intended as the receiving device.
Use standard CAT5/6 cable for interconnectivity between each set of FatCAT
➔
devices.
4. Connect the audio ports of the KD-CAT5XST unit intended as the receiving
device to the audio inputs of your receiving device (A/V receiver, TV, etc...).
CAT5 cables must be terminated in accordance with TIA/EIA-568-A or
➔
TIA/EIA-568-B pin-pair assignments.

Additional Installation Tips
The FatCAT is incredibly flexible in its possible uses. In addition to the standard setup as
an analog/digital audio or H/V Sync extender balun, the unit can also be used for other
signals. The following signals are all supported on any FatCAT port, regardless of the silk
screened labels on the case.
Analog Audio Signals (line level)
➔
H and V Sync Signals
➔
Composite Video Signals
➔
PCM Digital Audio Signals
➔
Composite Sync Signals
➔
Serial control signals (bi-directional) such as RS232 and wired IR
➔
S-Video Signals (with appropriate S-video to composite adapter)
➔
With the above information in mind, you can see how the additional setup options below
make the FatCAT a powerful and useful tool in any installation*.
Example One – Four FatCAT Setup
(see next page)
(Two KD-CAT5XRCA to support Component Video and PCM Digital audio and
two KD-CAT5XST to support L/R Analog Audio).
In this case, we can use two FatCAT units to transmit component video and PCM digital
audio signals in addition to left and right line level analog audio signals over CAT5.
To do so:
1.
Connect component cables to corresponding ports labeled "R, G, and B" on the
KD-CAT5XRCA.
2.
Connect PCM digital audio cable to the port labeled "PCM/CV" on the first KD-
CAT5XRCA.
Connect left analog audio signal to the port labeled "L/H" on the KD-CAT5XST.
3.
Connect right analog audio signal to the port labeled "R/V" on the KD-CAT5XST.
4.
Use two additional FatCAT units to receive the two CAT 5 cables from the transmitting
units above.
* Note that this is just one example of the many different possible configurations. If you keep in mind that
inputs and outputs should be one-to-one (that is, the signal feeding a specified port on the transmitting
FatCAT can be output on the corresponding port on the receiving FatCAT) then there are many uses for
multiple FatCAT setups with the formats mentioned above.
