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, or your signal is 4K. If you need to place your products more than 15 m apart, use a
signal extender.

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.
