1. Startup and Installation
The CAT5e/6 cable frequency response
(1) Any CAT5/5e/6 cables will work but the maximum
distance can easily vary depending on the cable
performance. We have tested and recommend the
following cables:
 Belden 7989R, Belden 7988R, Belden 1700A
 Cable master (Hyper-Data 200 CM 24AWG
4PR 75C (UL) E151955
(2) Keep in mind that cables that would seem to work
properly for Ethernet connectivity applications may
behave poorly in carrying digital video signals.
Skew
The skew represents the difference in propagatin delay
between the fastest and the slowest set of pairs. A lower
skew value will mean a longer video transmitting distance.
Excessive skew may result in one of the RGB components
being offset by one pixel on the display
RJ45 Terminations: Must be done according to
the EIA 568B specifications
