IR Emitter (Blaster) Cables
Currently two IR emitter cables are available: CIR-EMT and CIR-EMT2.
CIR-EMT, shown below, is recommended for most applications

Connected
An alternative Emitter cable is CIR-EMT2. This cable is better suited for
situations where there is a need to isolate and confine the IR signal to just one
device. A separately sold adhesive rubber cover can be used to confine the IR
beam to just one target device. The CIR-EMT2 is placed in a cavity in the
cover and stuck on the target device directly over its IR sensor. A typical
application scenario is when several identical video sources are located in
close proximity to each other and they need to be independently controlled.
The CIR-EMT2 has a mono-type plug. Pin out: Tip=Anode, Sleeve=Cathode

3.2.6 UTP (Twisted Pair Catx) Connection

The extender is designed to be used with CAT6 UTP (unshielded) or STP
(shielded) cabling. However, CAT5e cables may be used but the maximum
cable length will be reduced by approximately 20% depending on the quality
of the cable.
Augmented CAT6 cables can also be used, and are recommended for extension
distances exceeding 140 meters (or >450 feet) with receivers that support Long
Reach mode.
