Twisted Pair Cable Pinouts
Use either the T568A or T568B pinout specification for termination of the twisted pair cable used between the Transmitter or
Receiver and the enclosure.
To connect sources and destinations to DXLink inputs and outputs via TX/RX:
1. Attach an HDMI cable from the source device to the HDMI connector on the DXLink Transmitter.
2. Attach a twisted pair cable to the DXLink Transmitter’s Output (RJ-45) connector.
3. Attach the other end of the twisted pair cable to the input connector on the DXLink Input Board.
4. Attach a second twisted pair cable to the output connector on the DXLink Output Board.
5. Attach the other end of the second twisted pair cable to the Input (RJ-45) connector on the DXLink Receiver.
6. Attach a second HDMI cable to the HDMI Output connector on the Receiver.
7. Attach the other end of the second HDMI cable to the destination device.
8. Repeat steps above for additional source and destination devices.
9. If the enclosure is not being used as the source of power, attach the provided desktop power supplies to the transmitters and
receivers.*
10. Apply power to the source and destination devices.
* If the enclosure already has power applied, as soon as transmitters and receivers are connected they will have power.
NOTE: DXLink Boards can also work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see page 142) and Audio Insert/Extract Boards
(see page 154).
NOTE: DXLink Twisted Pair 4K cable runs include support for up to two (2) patch cables of up to 5 meters in length each, provided
that the total end-to-end cable length does not exceed 80 meters and all cables and couplers/patch panels used in the run meet the
minimum cable requirements (e.g., from DX-TX-DWP-4K to 5m patch cable, 70m cable run, 5m patch cable to DXLink 4K Input Board
using shielded Cat6A or better for each cable length).
