Reading this again, I need to add that you need 2 _PAIRS_ of KAT5 units to
accomplish this (as well as 2 CAT5 cables between the locations).  This
will
facilitate carrying luminance, chrominance, FL, FR, FC, RL, RR & LFE
signals - that's 8 signals, each requiring a twisted pair within a CAT5
cable = 2 CAT5 cables (4 prs in each).
