Use the HDMI connecting cable to connect the Input serial jack (No.1 ~ No. 4, 8 or 16) to

the HDMI jack of the Blu-ray/DVD player/graphics workstations/number displays. Use

the Cat.5e cable to connect the output RJ45 jack (No.1 ~ No. 4, 8 or 16) to the RJ45 jack

of extenders (HVX-100-R). Through the extender (HVX-100-R), you can extend the

connection of HDTVs, projector, video recorder, displayer or multiplexer to your Matrix

Switcher.

6.1.2 Output Cable

HDBaseT was designed to provide Full HD performance up to 100 meters of Cat.5e or

superior cables. In a typical installation, the cable is stretched to its full length between

the HDBaseT Transmitter device and the HDBaseT Receiver device. However

sometimes, especially, in demonstrations or in a lab environment, the cable is rolled

randomly in small turns for convenience. The randomly rolled UTP cable suffers

additional signal impairments (compared to straight cable) and therefore the maximal

operating reach might be reduced. When a Cat.5e cable is randomly rolled, it is

recommended to limit its length to approximate 50 meters. Rolling a Cat.5e cable around

a 70cm fixed diameter plastic drum has just a minor effect on the FEXT (Far End Cross

Talk) when compared to a fully stretched cable.
