Terminating the interconnecting HDBaseT CAT cable
It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the Blustream HDBaseT products is terminated using the correct RJ45
pin configuration. The link CAT cable MUST be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wir-
ing 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 distribution products will
only work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. Blustream recommends using a CAT6 cable for your installations, especially
when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.
