The C5-DA is a stand-alone device that transforms a coaxial digital audio signal to and 

from CAT-5 twisted pair cabling.

 It has two sets of simple connections. The first is an RCA 

connector for the digital audio signal. The second is a shielded CA

T-5 connector for the CA

T-5 

twisted pair connection. The circuitr

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

. 

The C5-DA allows a digital audio device,

 such as a 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.
