Blustream CAT100AU User Manual
Why not buy this Blustream CAT100AU Audio over CAT5 - 100m today?
What digital inputs does the Blustream CAT100AU accept?
A: It accepts one optical (S/PDIF) input and one RCA (S/PDIF) coaxial input on the transmitter.
What outputs are available on the receiver unit?
A: The receiver provides optical (S/PDIF), RCA (S/PDIF) coaxial, and an analog left/right 3.5mm stereo output.
How far can the CAT100AU extend digital audio over a CAT cable?
A: It can extend digital audio up to 300m, with 192kHz signals supported up to 100m.
Does the CAT100AU provide analog output from digital sources?
A: Yes; it has a built-in DAC that converts either the optical or coaxial digital input to analog stereo left/right on the receiver.
What sample rates and bit depth does the extender support?
A: It supports 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz sample rates up to 24-bit resolution.
Can I use this to connect a source 150 meters away?
A: Yes; the product extends digital audio up to 300m over CAT cable, so a 150m run is within its stated range.
Will I be able to send 192kHz audio over 150 meters?
A: No; 192kHz signals are documented as supported only up to 100m.
How are the transmitter and receiver powered?
A: The receiver uses a 5V/1A DC barrel-type power supply, and power is supplied to the transmitter from the receiver.
Can I distribute both optical and coaxial digital at the same time?
A: Yes; the unit can distribute both optical and coaxial digital simultaneously.
Will the receiver let me choose analog output from either digital input?
A: Yes; the built-in DAC on the receiver converts either optical or coaxial digital (selectable) to the analog stereo output.
