INTRODUCTION  
SPECIFICATIONS  
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 CAT-5 connector for the  
CAT-5 twisted pair connection. The circuitry is passive so there is no need for a power supply.  
• Overall dimensions: 4.75" W x .85" H x 2" D  
• Bandwidth: 20 Hz – 20 kHz  
• Transmission Distance: 2000' (CAT-3 UTP), 2500' (CAT-5 UTP)  
The C5-A2 allows a line-level audio device such as a subwoofer or CD player to be located  
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 always  
successfully run a wire from point A to point B. There exists however 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.
