I wired CAT 5 in the wall for my IR repeater to the audio equipment in another room. Could I still use this even though the input uses a 3.5mm cable?

When I opened the wire there are tree colors: White, Black and Red. Which color goes to what item on the termination block? Termination Block: Power, Ground, Signal.

Yes. I did the same thing. You can purchase a 3.5 mm wall plate, for you repeater, that you can connect to cat5 wiring to carry the signal back to you IR receiver located near your equipment. I control several devices with my set up with a cat5e run that is around 100 feet. No issues.

As long as you connect the positive and negative correctly to two separate wires within the CAT5 you should be fine, the 3 1/2 mm Jack will have a way of separating positive and negative when you open it up just like everything else

Depends on whether the IR module is inside the extender, or in the head of the cable (where the ir led is). Even if it is in the head, it still may not work...I don't know. Regardless, it seems to me that it would be inside the extender body, this way, you would only need one module. If this is the case, modifying the cable will do no good.

I would have to say no. I could not get this product to work correctly from PC to TV on about 25ft of new cat5e.

Im pretty sure you could because CAT5 and 6 have the same connectors. The only problem I could think of is if you have really high data transfer ratesbut this may not be rated for CAT6 speeds but it should still work.

If the output is stereo and the devices have a 3.5mm input and output port for sound then it should work. Mashmal stated the standard red and white stereo sound from a composite cable. While I do not disagree that if you have composite and not 3.5mm cables for the sound (which is likely in most home television setups) that a composite switch would work better, but I do disagree that you convert it to 3.5mm unless you just have to. Conversion can degrade sound quality. Also, if your conversion method is not the best quality you might see some bad results as well.

Yes. Your cable box has the required IR remote sensor and even has USB ports you can use instead of the extender's transformer.

I hit the enter button too fast, I have a 75 foot run of hard wired feed. I used the RJ45 to hook a fifty fo and a twenty five ft together to run this old computer in the cellar, works OK. However keep in mind that if you use a RJ45 you may not get the full Mhz that the Cat 7 cable can provide and it will lower your speed.CAT-5 is rated to 100 Mhz CAT-5e is rated to 350 MhzCAT-6 and CAT6e is rated to 550 Mhz or 1000 Mhz depending on your source CAT-7 is rated to 700 Mhz or 1000 Mhz

I use cat6 at my setup as it is already wired throughout the house. Cat5 should be fine also.

As far as know you can't, you need direct cable from matriz to receiver. CAT5 cable works as a HDMI cable. Suggestion use CAT5e armored cable, any electro-frequency cuts you signal.

It depends... Straight to a cable box with a IR input it will work. But to a IR emitter it didn't work for me. Too long.

Yes, provided you have a unit sending data and a unit receiving data over coax. I use an actiontec router on one end and this on the other and then just run cat 5 to my computer. Great throughput (compared to wifi) and reliable.

Yes, you can use Cat 5 cable with a Cat 6 connector. The category classification refers to the quality of the cable. The higher the number, the higher the bandwidth the cable is rated at. Cat 5 is for rated for 100 MHz and Cat 6 is rated for 200 MHz. All you're doing is using a higher grade connector with a lower grade cable. The color code and AWG is the same for Cat 5 and Cat 6.

No you can not use it from BNC camera to cat 5 DVR input with this. This is BNC to BNC and the cat 5 is the cable in between the connectors.

Yes you can. If you still want to connect a computer to the cat5 cable be aware using this will drop the speed from 1gb to 100mb

No. This part allows you to run analog video for long distance using cat5 or similar wire.

Hi Donald,Cat 5e cable should be capable of supporting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) connections. Unless you've got incredibly easy runs to replace and money to burn, you'd probably be better off keeping the existing cable.

This device is meant to combine 4 video surveilance cameras on a single cat 5 cable and split it back out in 4 channels for the recording/monitoring device. I have not tried it with audio, but it might workif the impedance isn't a problem.
