FIG. 11 RJ-45 connector LEDs

The following information applies to the LEDs on the UTP (RJ-45) transport connectors on the HDMI UTPro enclosure and to the Input (RJ-45) connector LEDs on the Receivers.

Green:

On – link has been established Off – no link

Yellow:

On – HDCP handshaking has occurred successfully Blinking – no HDCP

Off – no HDMI

UTP Cable Requirements

UTP cable was designed to carry Full HD content over 100 meter (328 ft.) cables with control. For cable specifications for the HDMI UTPro, see page 19.

In a typical installation, the cables should be stretched to their full length between the HDMI UTPro enclosure and its Receivers. Service loops or coils of the cable will reduce the overall cable performance and should be minimized whenever possible. The total run of a UTP cable installation may include up to two patch cables, typically as connections to RJ-45 wall jacks (FIG. 12).

Cable Length:

•X ≤ 5 meters

•Z ≤ 5 meters

•Y ≤ 100-X-Zmeters

UTP Cable Pinouts

We recommend using the T568A pinout specification for termination of the UTP cable used with the UTP transport connectors on the HDMI UTPro enclosure. The T568B pinout specification is also supported.
