Expansion at the receiver end is made possible using the LINK OUT ports present on AdderLink AV101 receivers. Receiver cascade links are made using twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher.

NOTE: Ensure that there are no more than three cascades (transmitter or receiver cascades)

between the primary transmitter and the CASCADE LINK furthest receiver in any branch.
