Chapter 1: Specifications
CAUTION: In any case, if there is any doubt with regards to a specific type of cable, it is strongly advised that actual testing be
performed using an appropriate length of the desired cable—BEFORE that cable is specified and installed.
The transmitter provides four UTP output ports. Each port in turn supports a daisychained CAT5 connection to multiple receivers.
This allows one video source to be sent to many displays at the same time—with the absolute minimum amount of signal
degradation possible.
The transmitter is compatible with standard CAT5/5e/6 data cabling as well as specialized “low skew” cabling manufactured
primarily for video applications.
CAUTION:
Some “low skew” cabling is specific to a particular equipment vendor or application and may not be compatible with CAT5 Multi
VGA and Analog Audio Transmitter products. Make sure that any “low-skew” CAT5 cable is non-proprietary prior to purchase/
installation.
Standard CAT6 cable can exhibit much greater skew than standard CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what
the standard product offers. Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 or [email protected] for details.
The CAT5/5e/6 cable should be suitably rated listed (DUZX) communications cables, TYPE CMP, CMR, CMG, or CM as
designated in the NEC. Cables are to be installed in accordance with the NEC and local building and electrical codes. This is the
responsibility of the end user/installer of this product.
