Extron’s new family of Category 5 products is a versatile class of twisted pair transmitters and
receivers that distribute computer RGB video and audio, and/or composite video and stereo audio
using CAT 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. With products designed specifically for the
professional A/V industry, which include features like computer video and audio interfaces,
multiple mounting options, and transmitters designed to be powered by their receivers, system
integrators and designers now have new options for signal transmission and distribution. These
products provide reliable video performance, transmitting 640 x 480 video up to 1000 feet or
1600 x 1280 video up to 200 feet with minimal loss of signal integrity.
CAT 5 cabling is a fraction of the size of coaxial cable, as well as being much lighter, more
flexible, and less expensive. Termination of the CAT 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple,
quick, and economical.
Whether your project includes high-resolution computer or RGB video, composite video, or
some combination of both, the mix-and-match nature of Extron’s CAT 5 products allows you to
tailor a configuration to meet your individual needs. Five transmitter models and three receiver
models provide flexibility for any video system need.

Extron’s CAT 5 T 15HD A Interface Transmitter accepts analog computer video and PC audio
and transmits them, via CAT 5 cable, to an Extron CAT 5 RGB video receiver.
The CAT 5 T AV Video Transmitter transmits NTSC/PAL/SECAM composite video and stereo
audio to an Extron CAT 5 composite video receiver. The CAT 5 T AV can transmit composite video
up to 1000 feet, with minimal loss of signal integrity.
Extron’s
CAT 5 T 15HD AV Interface/Video Transmitter has all the functionality of both the
CAT 5 Interface Transmitter and the CAT 5 Video Transmitter built into one dual-function
transmitter. It handles both computer video and composite video, transmitting two separate sets
of analog signals on two RJ-45 connectors.
The
CAT 5 T BNC RGB Video Transmitter is similar to the CAT 5 Interface Transmitter, except
that the signal is input on five BNCs rather than a computer video input connector. This unit is
for high-end video, component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) and S-video.
Extron’s
CAT 5 T BNC DA4 Video Distribution Amplifier/Transmitter is similar to the CAT 5
Video Transmitter, but with distribution amplifier capabilities. This transmitter splits the video input
into four outputs and transmits them to four CAT 5 RGB receivers while maintaining image quality.
Receivers
Extron’s CAT 5 R BNC A RGB Receiver receives long distance transmissions of high-end analog
RGB video, with or without audio, from one of Extron’s family of RGB or computer video
transmitters, via CAT 5 cable.
The
CAT 5 R AV Video Receiver receives long distance transmissions of NTSC/PAL/SECAM
composite video with or without audio from one of Extron’s family of composite video
transmitters.
