Audio Extender over CAT

The J-Tech Digital JTECH-AET1000B extends analog or digital audio signals over a single Cat5e or Cat6 UTP Ethernet cable. It supports digital optical, digital coaxial and analog inputs for flexible source integration. Power over Cable requires only one adapter for both transmitter and receiver units. Installers can power either end of the link for convenient placement.

Maximum Extension Distance

Digital optical and coaxial signals reach 1640 ft while analog audio extends to 1480 ft over the same cable run. This range determines whether the unit suits whole-house or commercial distribution. Exceeding these distances will degrade signal integrity and is not supported. Plan cable routes within the stated limits for reliable operation.

Supported Audio Formats and Sample Rates

The extender handles PCM 2.0 and multichannel formats including Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS variants up to 6.1 channels. Input sample rates of 44.1 and 96 kHz are accepted with 48 kHz output at 16 to 24 bit depth. It does not support uncompressed multichannel PCM beyond stereo or high-resolution formats above the listed rates.

Questions about this item

What does the 1640 ft extension distance mean when I connect this between my AV rack and a remote zone?

It lets you run digital optical or coaxial audio that far over one Cat5e/6 cable; analog audio reaches 1480 ft instead.

What audio formats and sample rates does the extender actually pass through?

It carries PCM 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1/EX, DTS 5.1/6.1 variants and DTS-HD; input accepts 44.1–96 kHz, output is fixed at 48 kHz 16–24 bit.

How do I power the transmitter and receiver units in a typical install?

A single 12 V/1 A adapter powers both ends via Power Over Cable, so you only need one outlet at either the sender or receiver side.
