NOTE: STP cables must be used in an electrically noisy environment. Also, cross-connection
reduces the effective distance depending on the grade of twisted cable used.
These distances are valid both at the UTP input AND the UTP output of the Hub.
For example, there can be a distance of 150 ft before AND 150 ft after the Hub to distribute 1080p Deep Color via Cat 6 cabling.
