INTRODUCTION

The C5-A2WM 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 CA

T-5 connector for the 

CAT-5 twisted pair connection.

 The circuitr

y is passive so there is no need for a power supply

.

The C5-A2WM allows a line-level audio device such as a subwoofer or CD player to be loca

ted 

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 al

ways 

successfully run a wire from point A to point B.

 There exists ho

wever 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.
