Does anyone know if I could put L14-20 on one end of cable and L14-30 on the other end to connect to a distribution box with the L14-30 end?

I'm no home electrician, but as an auto electrical tech I'm pretty good with wiring. So if I understand this correctly the L14-30 on the cable is going into the L14-30 on the box, and you want the L14-20 on the other end of the cable will be going into a gen or other power unit, correct? This would work as far as the connecting everything.... meaning the ends will all fit together. The problem is Amps. The L14-30's are rated at 2X30 amp lines with 1 shared ground and 1 shared common, where the L14-20 is only rated at 2X20 amp power lines with common and ground. I don't know that this would be to code first off so I have to add the disclaimer "check with a licensed electrician". As far as "in theory", yes, this would work as far as getting power from point A to B. But your box is rated at 30 amps with a full load(all breakers on), your L14-20 is only 20 amps. So while in an emergency you could provide power to the box, you would never have enough amperage to turn all the breakers on at once without risking an overload. I'd also like to add, That you will need to know how your box is wired to "safely turn breakers on without overloading". Since you have 2 poles feeding the breakers, you will only have 20 amps available PER POLE or per wire. Its not like some think 2X20 means I can turn 40 amp worth of breakers on, you will be limited to 20 amps per wire or you could/will blow the safety (if equipped) on the gen. You can not just assume the left side is one (pole) or wire and the right side the other. Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. Also keeping in mind that double breakers pull from both sides or wires at once. Hope this helps and feel free to contact me or ask another question. If I can help I will.

I'm not an expert but my thoughts are the following:The source-connector (L14-30 at the distribution box) has a rating of 30 amps and the cable has a rating of 25 amps.The load with the L14-20 connector is only using a maximum of 20 amps.Seeing that the cable and the source-connector exceed the rated requirements of the load this is a good thing. So yes, that arrangement should be fine. Just make sure the X,Y, W and G terminals match correctly.If it was the other way around, 20A source and a 30 amp load that would not be safe.

I do that, works fine I just plug in a splitter and this will work with the type you have. and yes I have a 2 line system hard wire. I just split so I can use the phone line too

Take a look at the picture and description of this Toslink cable to see if it will work... http://www.amazon.com/D3-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B005K2TXMO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top If you are not sure, you can call Senheisser's 800#, they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I had questions about the 140's, one in particular was a cable question that I didn't even know existed and it fixed my connection issue. Here is their USA number: Toll Free: 1-(877)-736-6434. Hope this helps. ~M

I should work. The unit comes with multiple cable options for different connections.

Brett, this junction box will NOT supply the POWER TO POE BUT IS COMPATIABLE WITH IN LINE POE.ED

no. at times, in older sockets, it wont even recognize the cable input. I wouldn't trust it.

I have not tried this, I need to put a splitter at the input end of mine, but as of yet have not done so. I am sorry.

Why would you need a splitter - This cable is 25 feet long and it worked great for my application. All I used it for was to hook my laptop up to my TV. I would think a splitter might degrade the signal strength a little. There are longer cables if you need them. Look into the specifications of the splitter you intend to use for more information about its limitations. Good Luck

hey thanks for the reply. Do I need to buy another cable to make the connection ?

If you use a splitter it should work, I have solved a similar problem with excellent results. One thing you did not make clear is whether or not you are using Optical cables all-around. I don't know if mixing cables would have a negative effect or if your splitter can handle both types interchangeably.

Theoretically you could add the splitter as it should fit. I just do not know if splitting the power output from the HDMI cable will lead to an unacceptably short emitter range for your needs.Also, contrary to the previous person's situation my installation has been working perfectly for 6 months and I am using a 25 foot HDMI cable.

Yes, I also only have two cables. Instructions how to do this are in the box.

Nope unfortunately ethernet cable isnt up to spec to carry SDI signal. Wont work.

You need one of these on each end, unless you have a modem/router than has a built in output. The one we have from Uverse does, so we only need it on the far end. You should use RG-6 coax. Ours is in the house, so I can tell you anything about burial depth. The units simply act as a long ethernet cable, extending the range of your wired network.

I don't see why not--it's just an Ethernet bridge. Ethernet cable goes in one module, comes out the other one.

My investigation shows that Amazon.com lists a 60 foot Lmr 200 low loss extention cable fme female to fme female connection which you could replace the 30 foot length...or go to the supplier.. www.maxmost.com and get more options with the connectionend you need if you're just extending the present cable

my guess is yes.. i think two cables out put is just for convenience. not positive. good luck.
