Introduction
This Audio over CAT 5e/6 Extender can transmit digital optical and coaxial signals concurrently up to a distance of 300m (48kHz), 150m (96kHz) or 100m (192kHZ). The receiver built-in DAC converts either of the digital (coax/toslink optical) signals to a 2CH analog stereo audio output. Support one-way POC function (the receiver will power the transmitter over the CAT cable).
This is a fantastic plug and play solution for sending optical audio from an HDTV back to an amplifier, AVR or multi-room audio system which requires an analog stereo audio input signal.
Features
- Extend optical and coaxial digital audio signals up to a distance of 300m (48kHz), 150m (96kHz) or 100m (192kHZ) over a single CAT cable
- Optical and coaxial digital signal can be distributed at the same time
- Built-in DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) converts either optical or coaxial digital (selectable) to analog stereo left/right audio output (PCM only)
- Support sample rates 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz and 192 kHz up to 24-bit resolution
- Support LPCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus when used as a straight digital in/digital out extender
- Support one-way POC function. The transmitter is powered on by the receiver through the CAT cable.
- Plug-and-play
- Small compact size
- Ultra-low jitter and high-fidelity design
