I saw comments on the Video to DDC connection. Any special requirements for the wire config of the network cable itself?

The information sheet had a different (than normal telephone) order for the colored wires. But it does not really matter as long as both ends are the same it is just a pass through. I have two cat 6 cables and it worked fine.

The answer is Yes, but the way to go is hard-wire it. I got rid of my CCK-W because it kept losing the signal and I would have to reset my router at least once a week. I finally gave in and called Directv and their tech came out, tried 2 other CCK-W units with no luck so he hard-wired it to my modem. I don't know how he did it but he didn't even run an extra Ethernet cable.

I have a cable modem but google it or get the online instructions, they should let you know.

We are running this router on a DSL line. We did this configuration some time ago, but I remember you needed a computer with wired access via an Ethernet port to configure it. I had to borrow someone's laptop to do it as my laptop did not have the necessary port. The instructions were in the manual that did not come with my device, but I was able to find them online. It was a relatively easy setup as I remember.

Gosh Steven they were different lengths. I just couldn't run the wires the same way they were routed in the original configuration. Wasn't a real big deal. I have a full size tower if that helps. I made it work with little problem. Hope this helps you

I have diff gen devices linked. You can try to connect them via a short coax and power them up. If the network lights turn on after a few min. then you'do be ok.

If Im not mistaken, the data link is just a pass-thru, so if you plug in GigE, then it should work at full speed.The big part of these are the 48VDC that it sends up the wire, and then you can choose via a switch on the "upper end" what you want your Vout to be. Awesome units, just dont plug the wall wart into the "upper" unit..... (also dont ask me how I know, and why I bought this one as a replacement.... lol) They SHOULD have made them have different barrel sizes for the power inject and take-off... Other than that (dont hook them up at o-dark-thirty out in the field when you cant read the small labeling), they work great, and seem to transfer enough power to run IP cams and such over 50+feet of CAT5e.

It must be a direct connection. The HDMI signal is not being converted into any type of network protocol that would be necessary for routing.

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

This switch requires some config as any device for security reason. However the device is pretty much plug and play, i recommend going through the tutorial for common network practices for proper security

Nope unfortunately ethernet cable isnt up to spec to carry SDI signal. Wont work.

I'm using it with mediacom right now. They have to give you a code of sorts to complete the connections, so I would call them up for instructions, it's been awhile.

I do not know what kind of wire it is but I do know that it worked in my application...My wifi was so slow (or so feeble) my BD Player could not complete it's on line upgrade. Threading the cable from upstairs (computer) to downstairs (BD player) was a pain but... after the hookup...there was no problem.

Sorry Rob, after buying the cable I had other issues and could not use it. Good luck!

Yes. I am also wiring for Directv. They require RG6, which this is. Have fun!

Hi Rob - can you elaborate, what kind of syncing issues? How long are your cable runs? Have you checked your cabling?

I also thought this might work before I bought it, but as other commentators mentioned, it doesn't. The extenders just transport raw, layer-1 TMDS and DDC signals on the available pins of a Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable, and they don't convert the signal to a layer-2 Ethernet frame that a network switch could understand. But if you can lay some relatively flat (low-thickness) Ethernet cables under your carpet, this solution may be better than some of the IP-based alternatives, like the "StarTech.com IPUSB2HD2 HDMI over IP Extender with Audio," which seems to output a grainy, VGA-quality picture at any length of a cable run.
