USB port of the display using Wyrestorm USB to 5v power adaptor)
• Fully cascadable to further lengthen transmission.
*NOTE: ideal conditions denote cable run is within
specified distance range of product, no electrical
interference, the use of straight cable runs with no bends
or kinks and no patch panels or wall outlets used. Please
be advised that the presence of any of these factors in
your installation may compromise bandwidth and signal
strength. For longer transmission distances, RS232 control
and Ethernet pass-through, please see our full HDBaseT
