The advoli
TM
TB4 Standard is a VS010-series chipset or advoli's B-series product, therefore most of the
cables above will be able to deliver 1080P content up to 70 meters and 4K content up to 40 meters.
When in doubt go for the better cables.
For a great white paper on HDBaseT cabling read the white paper named "Cabling to Support 4K UHD
HDBaseT Applications" found at the following URL and available for free:

The general rule of thumb (not always true) to reduce the number of headaches in your installation are:
-
Use solid wire only and not stranded CAT cables.
-
The higher the AWG the thinner the copper and usually the poorer the performance.
-
The more couplers/wall-plates you add the poorer the performance.
-
Poor quality coupler/wall-plates usually means worse signal.
-
The more mix of different cables the poorer the performance.
-
The poorer the termination/connector the poorer the performance.
-
The more HDBaseT signals/cables in parallel the more alien cross-talk.
-
The more you bend the cables the higher likelihood of poorer performance.
-
If you need to use couplers/wall-plates make sure they are rated equal to the CAT cable that you are
using.
-
Refer to the above table which indicates performance of cables when bundled and without couplers
at 4K. The more you deviate in your installation with inferior cabling, shielding, couplers, wall-plates
and poor quality connectors/termination the worse the performance.
-
Use advoli console to determine the signal integrity of each cable for your installation.
6.
In general don't try to do 'short-cuts' on cables in order to save a few dollars. Having to install new
cabling because you bought inferior or wrong cables will cost you a lot more. Plan ahead and realize that
you may install other cables in your AV infrastructure in the future that may create electro-magnetic
interference. Abide by the regulatory demands of your country, when in doubt, use properly shielded
cables and connectors.
