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’s built-in DAC converts 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 signals 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/correct audio output (PCM only)
☆ Support sample rates 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, and 192 kHz up to a 24-bit resolution
☆ Support LPCM, DTS, Dolby Digital an
