	Audio over CAT5
Can you run the audio out of a computer over CAT 5 wiring?
	Answer by Joseph Golan posted 04 Jan 2006
Dear Eric, I see no reason why not but I would separate the left and right channels to their own twisted pairs to prevent the pick-up of noise, this will keep all signals balanced. If you need to go extended distances and/or you need to add video, there are a number of products out there such as found at this url: www.extron.com/download/files/brochure/TwistedPairebroB.pdf Sincerely, Joseph Golan, RCDD
