INTRODUCTION

The C5-A2 is a stand-alone device that transforms a pair of audio channels to and from

CAT-5 twisted pair cabling.

It has two sets of simple connections. The ﬁrst is a pair of RCA

connectors for the line level audio signals. The second is a shielded CA

T-5 connector for the

CAT-5 twisted pair connection.

The circuitr

y is passive so there is no need for a power supply

The C5-A2 allows a line-level audio device such as a subwoofer or CD player to be loca

ted

an extended distance from the system it is to be connected to. Doing so with conventional

audio cabling is both expensive and prone to signal degradation.

By using a pair of these

devices and a run of CAT-5 the problem can be solved inexpensively and without signal loss

and the introduction of noise. In addition,

in today’s retroﬁt market an installer cannot al

ways

successfully run a wire from point A to point B.

There exists ho

wever an abundance of twisted

pair cabling in many homes.

By using a pair of these devices with an existing wire an installer

may be able to complete a job that he otherwise could not.
