Wire and Cable Recommendations

The Vigitron products are designed to be used with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The UTP wire must be 24AWG - 12AWG or Category 2-7 cable.
Multi pair cable with an overall shield is acceptable, however individually shielded pairs should be avoided. Multiple UTP video feeds can be operated in
the same communication cable along with telephone, computer, control signals and low power voltages. While UTP video may be routed through
punch-down block terminals, any resistive, capacitive or inductive devices (such as T-taps or MOV's) must not be used. Please contact Vigitron for more
specific information regarding wire types and proper installation techniques.
