Hub Core, Hub Pro - Connecting the USB-C Extension over CAT receiver

The USB-C Extension over CAT receiver must be installed and an RJ-45 cable must be selected. For more information, see:

RJ-45 cable: An RJ-45 cable is a network cable that ends in a RJ-45 connector. Many different cables are compatible with an RJ-45 connector. For this reason, the cables are divided in categories based on maximum speed and cable design. These differences have a big impact on the quality of the RJ-45 cable.

The USB-C Extension over CAT kit includes two ‘USB-C’ cables. Each cable is designed for one of the USB-C Extension over CAT devices:

for the USB-C Extension over CAT transmitter, use the ‘USB-C’ cable with a screw lock on one connectors (reference A).
for the USB-C Extension over CAT receiver, use the ‘USB-C’ cable with a screw lock on both connectors (reference B).

HDBaseT: HDBaseT is a signal standard designed to transmit data over long distances without loss of information. HDBaseT can be configured to transmit a variety of data from video signals to commands over the same standard network cables.
