INTRODUCTION

The C5-VA2 is a stand-alone device tha

t transforms one video signal and a pair of audio

channels to and from CAT-5 twisted pair cabling.

It has two sets of simple connections.

The first is three RCA connectors for the video and line level audio signals.

The second is a

shielded CAT-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-VA2 allo

ws an audio/video device such as a VCR or sa

tellite receiver to be located an

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

video 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.
