CAT.5E HDC cable
*The CAT.5E HDC cable is a double-shielded twisted pair cable that optimizes video signal transmission.
It is certified to 500 MHz bandwidth at distance up to 330 feet (100 m) and verified to meet requirements
specified by HDBaseT Alliance. The double-shielded structure protects video signal from outside
interference.
Note:
If there is a problem in the transmission path, video or audio may be interrupted. Check the precautions above.
If the problem still cannot be solved, shortening the twisted pair cable may remedy the problem.
6.2.2 Cabling
When connecting the HDC to external devices, please observe the following precautions.
・
Read manuals for the external devices.
・
Before you connecting cables to the HDC or an external device, dissipate static electricity by touching
grounded metal such as racks before handling signal cables. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
・
Power all units off before connecting cables.
・
Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stress on connectors.
