Blustream CAT100AU Digital Audio Over CAT Extender Kit (CAT100AU)

Blustream CAT100AU Digital Audio Over CAT Extender Kit

The Blustream CAT100AU Audio over CAT5e/6 extender kit transmits optical and coaxial digital audio over a single CAT cable up to 300m. It includes a built-in DAC to enable use of stereo left/right analogue output from either input.

Extend Digital Audio Over a Single CAT Cable

Transmits audio signals up to 300m over CAT5e/6, with 192kHz signals up to 100m.

Distance Support by Sample Rate

• 192kHz: up to 100m
• 96kHz: up to 150m
• Up to 48kHz: up to 300m

Flexible Digital Inputs and Simultaneous Distribution

Accepts both optical (S/PDIF) and coaxial (S/PDIF) digital inputs, and both optical and coaxial digital can be distributed at the same time.

Built-in DAC for Analogue Stereo Output

The built-in DAC converts either optical or coaxial digital (selectable on the receiver unit) to analogue stereo left/right audio output via a 3.5mm stereo audio jack.

High-Resolution Audio Compatibility
