  • Extends optical and analog audio up to 984' over a single CAT cable
  • Supports LPCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus formats
  • Built-in DAC converts optical input to analog output on the receiver
  • Bi-directional PoC powers either end via micro USB
  • Plug-and-play operation with no drivers or software required

Digital Audio Extender for Long Runs

The DVDO CAT Audio 300 extends optical and analog audio up to 984 feet at 48kHz over a single CAT cable. It supports LPCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus formats with sample rates up to 192kHz at 24-bit resolution. A built-in DAC converts the optical signal to analog output at the receiver end. It suits installers needing reliable audio distribution in conference rooms, education spaces or hospitality venues.

Driver-Free Setup with Flexible Power

Installation is plug-and-play with no drivers, downloads or software required. Bi-directional PoC lets you connect the micro USB power cable to either the transmitter or receiver unit. The only common issue is exceeding the cable distance limits for the chosen sample rate, which causes signal loss. Using solid-core CAT5e or CAT6 cable and verifying the run length against the rate prevents this problem.

Distance Limits Define the Standard

The single CAT cable interface imposes strict distance ceilings tied directly to audio quality. At 48kHz the maximum reach is 984 feet, dropping to 495 feet at 96kHz and 330 feet at 192kHz. Higher resolutions such as 176.4kHz fall between these thresholds. The extender cannot transmit signals beyond these physical limits regardless of cable quality, so system design must match the run length to the required sample rate.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the audio extender is transmitting a 96 kHz signal correctly after connecting the CAT cable?

Confirm the source device outputs 96 kHz LPCM, DTS, Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus; the receiver will pass the signal to its optical or analog output with ultra-low jitter and no driver installation required.

What cables and power items are included versus what I must provide for a 495-foot run?

The extender uses a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable up to 495 ft at 96 kHz and a micro USB power cable that can plug into either the transmitter or receiver via bi-directional PoC; audio source and sink cables are not included.

Which distance and sample-rate combination should I select for a 330-foot installation with 192 kHz audio?

At 330 ft (100 m) the extender supports 192 kHz up to 24-bit resolution; choose this pairing if your source delivers 192 kHz LPCM, DTS, Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus over optical.
