4 or 8 Channel Splitter PC Video, Audio & RS232 over Twisted-Pair Receivers

1. Introduction
1.1 General
This User Manual applies to the Hall Research Models UV232A-4S and UV232A-8S.
These devices are four (4) or eight (8) Channel Splitters for PC Video, Audio &
RS232 over Twisted-Pair cabling.
In a typical application, they are located at the AV/RS-232 source and connected to
one or more compatible receiver units that connect the audio, video and RS-232
source signal to the receiving devices.
Below is a list of capabilities & features of each receiver model:

Table 1 – Model Number Differences
Low-skew UTP cable (such as Hall Research’s Zero-skew™ CAT5 cable) is
recommended with the Model URA particularly if cable lengths are 200 feet or
longer. The Models URA-232 and URA-232-XT do not have any special cable
requirements since they are capable of correcting the RGB color skew induced in
typical CATx cable installations.
The Model URA-232-XT allows downstream receiver units to daisy chain
connections using UTP cables. This eliminates the need for running separate cables
from every receiver back to the sender (in a star or home-run fashion) – this is a very
useful feature when several receivers are located in a line going away from the
sender.
Depending on the application, the URA-232-XT’s downstream RJ45 port can
connect to more receivers (URA-232-XT or URA-232). The constructed daisy chain
may have:
• Up to 3750 feet maximum cable from source to last URA-232
• A maximum of 5 URA-232-XT devices in any chain
• 750 feet maximum distance between units in a chain
