2.3 Cable Requirements
All units can be used with Cat5/5e/6 or Zero-Skew™ UTP or STP
(unshielded or shielded twisted pair) cables.
All units provide high-frequency compensation (to account for the
losses in the CATx cable). The URA-SKU and URA-XT units also
provide RGB skew correction.
Low-skew UTP cables (such as Hall Research’s Zero-skew™ Cat5
cables available in both PVC and Plenum) are recommended with the
Model URA particularly if cable lengths are 200 feet or longer. The
Models URA-SKU and URA-XT, do not have any special cable
requirements since they are capable of correcting the RGB color
skew induced in typical CATx cables.
2.4 Daisy-Chain Limitations
The Model URA-XT allows downstream receiver units to be daisy
chained using UTP cables. This eliminates the need for running
separate cables from every receiver back to the sender.
Depending on the application, the URA-XT’s downstream RJ45 port
is connected to a URA-XT, URA-SKU, or URA. The constructed daisy
chain may have:
• Up to 3750 feet maximum cable from source to last URA
• A maximum of 5 URA devices in any chain
• 750 feet maximum distance between units in a chain
2.5. Setup
 Connect the UTP cable from any of the compatible UVA
senders to the “UTP IN” connector.
 Connect the HD15 - “PC/HDTV OUT” connector to the
display device. For YPbPr video sources, use a 3-RCA to
HD15 cable (Hall Research P/N CHD15-RGB).
 Connect the 3.5mm - “AUDIO OUT” connector to the
speakers or other sound equipment.
 Connect the included power supply to the 2.1mm center
positive +5 VDC power input connector on the unit. Never
use any other supply as this may damage the device.
