Do I have to have 2 cables running between these or will one cat5 work?

I tried both ways. Neither worked. I ended up buying the HD-Link by Sewell which is a one cable newer design. It works great unlike this Sabrent crap

You will need two and the order that you plug in and turn on power matters.

These extenders require two straight through cat5 cables connected properly to function. I have two pairs of these in my home, they work great for 1080 video but do not carry multichannel audio.

You can use either grade of cable. I have CAT5e connecting my modem to my router and used CAT6 cables when connecting from the router to the Linksys 5-port unit. The modem-router connections are much older than the 5-port, which was done this spring.

Use your A/V receiver as a wireless hub.You then run cat 5 cables to other components. Good luck

I use cat6 at my setup as it is already wired throughout the house. Cat5 should be fine also.

This adapter allows two computers to be connected together with a Cat 6 cable, without a Ethernet Switch in the middle. Only one adapter is needed on one end of the Cat 6 cable. It does not matter which end of the cable the adapter is installed on.

Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. I have not used 2 cables together, but I think that they should work O' K depending on your application.

Yes, but keep in mind, this device does not split a port. It merely allows you to connect two ports on your router to a single run of Cat5 cable. It helps in keeping cable clutter down and simplifying long cable runs. Since only three short cables are supplied, you will have to obtain another Cat5 cable of suitable length to complete installation.

Thats beyond cat5 range as you know. I suggest running a shielded pvc insulated cable for max throughput, and it may still not work.

You can use either. I use cat 5 with video baluns and power adapter (pig tails) wired to the cat 5.

Yes, you'll need two of them. If you have a coax network in your house (i.e. a bunch of splits and runs to other rooms), you just put one on your modem and one in each room you need one in.

I dont know the exact answer - but I had no issues with a VGA cord, power cord and two cat5's

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support

Hello Zac, We have one of these systems installed and some of cable runs are a good distance we ran our own cat 5 cable and put our own ends on. There does not seem to be a power issue with them at this point.

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

No I don't think it works that way. You need two outs from your switch/router to go to the two inputs, then you need 2 coupling for the RJ45 that will run in the middle and connect the two. The only advantage of using this is that you don't have to run two cable just one.

yes, you will need two cat5/6 cables to connect transmitor's DDC to receiver's DDC and TMDS to TMDS.

No.If you had two separate Ethernet cables and wanted to use each of them with the same device, but not at the same time, then this would help you.
