Hardware recommendations 

At tvONE, we design our products to the highest quality standards. 
To get the best results from our products, we recommend that you 
use the best quality connectors, cables, and adapters. Consider the 
points below when you choose accessories and position 
equipment. 

 

For best results with HDMI/DVI, use cables under 15 m long, or 
shorter if you use connection adapters. If you need to place your 
products more than 15 m apart, use a signal extender. 

 

See our range of signal extenders at 

tvone.com/signal-extension-

systems

 

For best results with HDMI, use High Speed or Premium High-
Speed HDMI cables. 

 

In industrial environments, use shielded Ethernet cables for 
signal extension systems. 

 

Shielded Ethernet cables are often marked F/UTP or FTP. Use 
shielded Cat 6 cables with HDBaseT input and output modules 
and Streaming media and 4K playback input modules.
