General Information
The Model 1176BK Matrix Expander is a companion product to the Model AVM-562 Cat 5 Matrix. It provides
outputs to six additional Cat 5 receivers. Each receiver is able to display any one of the six inputs of the
AVAtrix at any time. Up to five Model 1176BK expanders may be stacked with its host AVM-562, providing
outputs for a maximum 36 Cat 5 receivers.
HD Cat 5 Matrix
The AVM-562 is a six input, seven output high definition matrix router. It has one local output and six Cat 5
remote outputs, all offering component video with digital and analog audio. The Model AVM-562 performs
selection of up to six audio/video input sources by infrared control, RS-232 signals, or by manual selection.
Three different Cat 5 wallplate/receiver styles are available (Models 9880, 9879 and 9878). The AVM-562
delivers component video, digital and analog audio to each wallplate/receiver over two Cat 5 cables.

Suggested Accessories
• Patch cables (RCA, optical and 3.5mm)
• Infrared emitters and/or infrared remote control receivers—for remote wallplate/receiver IR functionality
• Cat 5e/6 cable—for remote outputs; consider buying a different jacket color for A and B cables
• RJ-45 plugs—for remote outputs; EZ RJ-45 plugs are recommended
• Professional network cable tester—continuity testing is not adequate for Cat 5 cables–twisted pairs must
be properly matched for balanced line performance, so a tester capable of confirming pairs is required
We strongly recommend testing factory-made cables as well as site-fabricated cables!
All cables must have proper EIA-568B pairing (not crossover configuration) for proper function.
(The EIA-568A standard can also be used, but mixing the two standards could result in confusion.)
