To connect the link cable(s)
The links between the transmitter and receiver modules are made using between
one and eight twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher. Each cable
carries video, audio and serial communication signals to each receiver module.
When a single receiver is attached to a link cable, the maximum length of that
link cable is 300m (1000 feet).
AdderLink AV204T & AV208T models
1 Attach the connector of the first link cable to the socket labelled LINK1 on
the AdderLink AV204T/AV208T transmitter. There should be a click when
the cable is fully inserted and locked in place.
2 Attach the connectors of the remaining link cables to the sockets labelled
LINK 2 to LINK 4, (LINK 2 to LINK 8 on AV208T), as required.
In all cases, there should be a click when the cable is fully inserted and
locked in place.

Note: Long cable lengths may induce colour separation effects. AdderLink
AV201R receivers contain the necessary circuitry to minimise such effects.
However, if further transmitters are connected in cascade to the initial
transmitter, then the overall length of the link cables used must be reduced. For
further information, please refer to the section Making cascade connections.
AdderLink AV200T models
1 Attach the connector of the link cable to the
socket labelled LINK on the AdderLink
AV200T transmitter. There should be
a click when the cable is fully
inserted and locked in
place.

Important
Category 5, 5e or 6 (CATx) cabling is used to form the links between
transmitters and receivers. However, the signals used are not Ethernet or
IP-related and must never be connected via network switches or to any other
networking equipment.
Where possible, avoid laying the CATx twisted pair link cable(s) alongside power
cables.
AV200 transmitters and receivers must not be connected, via a CATx link, to
Adder AV100, AV101 or AV104 modules.
