INTRODUCTION
SPECIFICATIONS
The C5-VA2 is a stand-alone device that 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 CAT-5 twisted pair connection. The circuitry is passive so
there is no need for a power supply.
• Overall dimensions: 4.75" W x .85" H x 2" D
• Bandwidth:
Video: DC to 10 MHz
Audio: 20 Hz – 20 kHz
• Transmission Distance:
Color: 1500' (CAT-3 UTP)
2200' (CAT-5 UTP)
The C5-VA2 allows an audio/video device such as a VCR or satellite 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 always
successfully run a wire from point A to point B. There exists however 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.
