Notes
1. Transmission length is affected by the type of LAN
cables, the type of A/V sources, and the type of
A/V displays. Test results show that solid LAN
cables (usually in 300m/1000ft form) can transmit
over longer distances than stranded LAN cables
(patch cords), shielded STP cables perform better
than unshielded UTP cables, and solid UTP CAT5e
cables show longer transmission distances than
stranded STP CAT6 cables. For users that require
long transmission distances, solid cables are your
best choice.
2. When sending resolutions greater than 1080i or
1280x1024, a CAT6 cable is recommended.
