5. Wiring Recommendations
5.1. HDBaseT Link
Cable Type - Shielded or Unshielded Cat5e/6
• Distance Limitations
Cat5e/ Cat6: Up to 200ft (4K x 2K resolution is limited to 115 ft)
Cat6a: Up to 230ft (4K x 2K resolution is limited to 130 ft)
• Use at least Category 5e high quality twisted pair solid conductor cable rated to 350 Mhz bandwidth.
The higher the cable standard, the better it will perform.
• For the best results install a shielded cable. This will prevent rare signal dropout and artifacts that
may occur and are caused by electromagnetic and radio interference (EMI/RFI) from ceiling fans,
appliances and electric motors.
• Use no more than two 5 meter or shorter, solid or stranded, 568B terminated patch cables in the
run. Use shielded patch cables if the run is shielded to maintain shield continuity.
• Use no more than two keystones or couplers in the run. Use shielded keystones or couplers with
shielded cable to maintain continuity.
• Cleanly terminate all cable ends and test every cable used before connecting the extender to avoid
troubleshooting termination problems later.
• Mark each end of the HDBaseT cable with the included labels to avoid confusion later.
Cable Connector - RJ45
• Use a high quality RJ45 connector that matches or exceeds the standard of the cable in use.
Shielded connectors must be used with shielded cables, and must maintain continuity of the shield
to both connectors to protect from interference.
• We discourage the use of “EZ” style, open end RJ45’s with HDMI extenders.
• Always terminate RJ45 connectors in the HDBaseT signal path to the 568B termination standard as
indicated by HDBaseT standards.
