SUGGESTED MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS
Several factors will affect the video signal quality you can expect using the TPT101 / TPR101
system including the input signal resolution and refresh rate, the quality of the CAT5 cable and
the length of the cable run. Generally speaking, the higher the signal bandwidth, the shorter the
distance it can be transmitted along any cable (coaxial or UTP) before it begins to degrade. The
table below provides the maximum recommended cable lengths at various resolutions for the
TPT101 / TPR101 system using CAT5 cable:
