NOTICE
1.
The CV-147 may not be compatible with the DVI sources and displays that feature resolutions not in
the aspect ratio of 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10.
2.
All DVI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP
cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C.
3.
The transmission length is largely affected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the type of HDMI
sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid UTP cables (usually in the form
of 300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in
the form of fixed length patch cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP
cables. A solid UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable.
For long extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4.
EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for better performance.
5.
To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat-5/5e/6 cable, one can
use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.
6.
Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables has the major effect on how long the transmission limit can
achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the actual transmission range is subject to
one’s choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6
cable is recommended.
