Digital audio extender over Cat5e/6

This Vszerda extender sends Toslink or coaxial S/PDIF signals up to 500 feet over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It handles uncompressed LPCM and compressed 5.1 or 7.1 surround formats including Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby TrueHD. The transmitter requires only a 12 V DC supply and includes a red power indicator.

Maximum reach 500 feet at 96 kHz sampling

The key figure is the 500-foot distance at up to 96 kHz with a 12.8 Mb/s data rate. Coaxial ports present 75 ohms impedance at 500 mVp-p while the optical interface uses a 660 nm wavelength. Surge protection is rated at 2 kV differential and 4 kV common mode.

Power only the transmitter unit

Only the transmitter side needs the included 12 V DC adapter; the receiver draws power over the Cat cable. Use solid copper 24 AWG or lower UTP cable with 100 ohm impedance at 1 MHz. Common issues arise from stranded patch cables or runs exceeding the 500-foot limit.

Questions about this item

What does the 96 kHz sampling rate mean when I connect this extender to my DAC?

The extender passes stereo PCM up to 96 kHz and compressed 5.1 surround formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS without resampling, so your DAC receives the original stream.

How does the single Cat5e/6 link limit the audio formats I can send?

The 12.8 Mb/s bandwidth carries uncompressed two-channel LPCM at 96 kHz or compressed 5.1 bitstreams; it cannot transport uncompressed 7.1 or higher-rate formats.

What cable type and length will physically work with the transmitter and receiver units?

Solid-core 24 AWG or thicker Cat5e/6 UTP up to 150 m (500 ft) with 100 Ω impedance at 1 MHz is specified; stranded patch cords are not recommended.
