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
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, especially
when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.

Understanding the RX/MFP112 HDBaseT status lights
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 MFP112 Switcher:
• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/Blustream Receiver connected to the RJ45 output (applies to
both the HDBaseT output and HDBaseT inputs ports)
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Blustream switcher and HDBaseT Receiver/
Transmitter
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 input/output and an active connection
is achieved with a Blustream HDBaseT Transmitter/Receiver.
Blustream Receiver (RX):
• The HDMI link light will be o when there is no connection with a display
• The HDMI link light will be on when there is an active connection with a display (NOTE - Not all HDBaseT RX feature a HDMI
status LED)
• The HDBaseT link light will be o when there is no CAT cable/active HDBaseT connection on the RJ45 HDBaseT input
• The HDBaseT link light will blink if there is an unstable connection between the Blustream switcher and HDBaseT receiver
• The HDBaseT link light will be lit when a CAT cable is connected to the HDBaseT RJ45 output on the switcher and an active
connection is achieved with the Blustream HDBaseT Receiver.
*NOTE - The same rules apply when using a Blustream HDBaseT transmitter with the MFP112 HDBaseT input port
