Terminating the interconnecting CAT cable
Understanding the RX/TX status lights
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the Blustream Transmitter and Receiver is terminated using the correct
RJ45 pin configuration. The link CAT cable M UST be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that this is wired to the
T568B wiring standard as this format is less prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT cable quality possible. HDMI disitrbution products will
only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable for your installations.

The Blustream HDMI extender solution includes status LED indicators on both the Transmitter and Receiver products to show all
connections are active and to help diagnose possible problems.
Understanding the status lights:-
Blustream Transmitter (TX):
• The link light will be o when there is no signal on the HDMI input (no connection with a source device)
• The link light will blink when there is a signal on the HDMI input but there is no CAT cable/Blustream Receiver connected to the
RJ45 output
• The link light will be lit when there is a signal on the HDMI input, a CAT cable is connected to the RJ45 output and an active
connection is acheived with a Blustream Receiver.
Blustream Receiver (RX):
• The link light will be o when there is no signal on the HDMI output (no connection with a display)
• The link light will blink when there is a connection on the HDMI output but there is no CAT cable/Blustream Transmitter con-
nected to the RJ45 input
• The link light will be lit when there is connection with a display, a CAT cable is connected to the RJ45 input and an active con-
nection is acheived with a Blustream Transmitter
