INTRODUCTION
The C5-SV is a stand-alone device that transforms a single S-Video channel to and from
CAT-5 twisted pair cabling. It has two sets of simple connections. The first is an S-Video
connector for the S-Video signal. 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.
The C5-SV allows an S-Video device such as a VCR or satellite receiver to be located an
extended distance from the system it is to be connected to. Doing so with conventional video
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. Additionally, 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.
