2. Introduction 

2.1 Overview 

 

Magenta’s MultiView™ CAT5 Video System MultiView series extends VGA and audio 
signals over ordinary Category 5 cable.  
 
This manual covers the Magenta MultiView™ 500A CAT5 Video System Series 
Receiver with audio and the MultiView 500S receiver with RS232 serial support.

2.2 Equipment You May Also Need

1/8” (3.5mm) serial cable with DB9 connector. 

Video cable with HD15 connectors 

CAT5 cable 

 

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.
