All Transmitters and Receivers are connected to each other via CATx cables (page 15). The
transmitter connects to the CPU with supplied video, audio, serial and network cables. (USB A-B
cables are supplied with applicable models.) The receiver provides an interface to the monitor, audio,
serial and network devices (and USB 2.0 and USB HID devices in applicable models).
CATx Cables
There are currently several versions of CATx (category 5/5e/6/6a/etc.) cables with RJ-45 connectors on
the market.
Thinklogical recommends CAT6a 23 AWG Solid, Shielded and foiled (S/FTP- Shielded/
Foiled Twisted Pair) Cabling for TLX applications, which can operate over channel lengths of up
to 100 meters.
Assume a 30% derating for 26 AWG CAT6a cabling.
