2.3 Compatible Cabling
Magenta Research products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling as well as skew free
CAT5/5e cabling manufactured for video applications. Note that some skew free Cat5 is specific to
a particular vendor and is not compatible with our products. Please ensure any skew free CAT5
cable is non-proprietary prior to purchase/installation.
CAT6 cable, due to the manufacture method, can exhibit much greater skew than standard
CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the standard product offers. Please
contact Magenta Research for assistance.
CAT5/5e/6 cabling for the Magenta MultiView™ Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B
wiring specification (see appendix A) We also highly recommend that all CAT5 cables be pre-
terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an existing infrastructure should be tested
before use to ensure compliance with the TIA-EIA T568B specification. Using incorrectly
terminated CAT5 cables can damage the Magenta MultiView™ Series.
The Cat5/5e/6 cable should be suitably rated Listed cable ( DUZX ) communication cables, TYPE
CMP, CMR, CMG or CM as designated in the NEC. Cables are to be installed in accordance with
the NEC and local building and electrical codes. This is the responsibility of the end user/installer
of this product.
