Technical Specifications

How It Works

The extender functions as a pair of synchronized units: an AV transmitter and an AV receiver. The transmitter receives digital audio from the source device via a TOSLINK connection, encodes it onto the Ethernet cable, and sends it over up to 150 meters. At the far end, the receiver decodes the signal back into a clean S/PDIF output for playback on any compatible audio equipment.

Because the system uses standard Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, installation is straightforward—simply run the cable between the transmitter and receiver locations. The built‑in DC‑in jack allows each unit to be powered directly from a wall outlet or a suitable power supply, eliminating the need for additional adapters.

Installation Tips

• Cable Quality: While the extender supports Cat5e and Cat6, using high‑quality cables will further reduce signal attenuation over long runs.
• Avoid Interference: Keep Ethernet cable runs away from power lines or heavy electrical equipment to minimize electromagnetic interference.
• Secure Connections: Ensure all TOSLINK and Ethernet connectors are firmly seated; loose connections can degrade audio quality.
• Power Management: Use a surge protector for the DC‑in jack to safeguard against voltage spikes.

Applications

The LINDY CAT5 Digital Audio Transmission Device is suitable for a variety of use cases:

• Home Theater Expansion: Extend audio from a central receiver to a remote living room or basement without running new speaker cables.
• Professional Audio Installations: Deploy in conference rooms, lecture halls, or studios where long‑distance digital audio is required.
• Gaming Setups: Connect high‑definition audio sources to a gaming console or PC located far from the display area.
• Multi‑Room Audio Systems: Create a unified audio network across multiple rooms using a single transmitter/receiver pair.
