INTRODUCTION

The C5-DA is a stand-alone device that transforms a coaxial digital audio signal to and

from CAT-5 twisted pair cabling.

It has two sets of simple connections. The first is an RCA

connector for the digital audio signal. The second is a shielded CA

T-5 connector for the CA

T-5

twisted pair connection. The circuitr

y is passive so there is no need for a power supply

.

The C5-DA allows a digital audio device,

such as a CD player , to be loca

ted an extended

distance from the system it is to be connected to. Doing so with conventional audio cabling is

both expensive and prone to signal degradation.

By using a pair of these devices and a run of

CAT-5 the problem can be solved inexpensively and without signal loss and the introduction

of noise. In addition,

in today’s retrofit market an installer cannot al

ways successfully run a

wire from point A to point B.

There exists ho

wever an abundance of twisted pair cabling in

many homes.

By using a pair of these devices with an existing wire an installer may be able to

complete a job that he otherwise could not.
