Buffered Output connector — Connect one end of a TP cable to
this female RJ-45 connector. Connect the free end of the same TP
cable from the receiver to the female Input RJ-45 connector on
another receiver.
See “TP cable termination” on page 20 to wire the
RJ-45 connectors.
The receiver’s buffered output does not provide
pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance for
an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single
transmitter and receiver. The Pre-Peak switch has the
same affect on the recommended transmission distance
for a daisy chain as for a single transmitter and receiver.
Up to 8 receivers can be connected in series using
Buffered Output connectors, provided that the total
distance from the transmitter’s TP output to the last
receiver in the chain does not exceed the recommended
distance for the resolution being used.
See the recommended transmission ranges in the table on
page 5. The recommendations in the table apply equally
for a single transmitter and receiver and for a
transmission daisy chain. For example, the maximum
suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300’ with
Pre-Peak off and 500’ with Pre-Peak on for either one
transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and three
daisy-chained receivers.
For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain
must be at least 100’ from the transmitter when the
Pre-Peak switch is on.
For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer
than 350’ may experience some form of over-peaking
when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
If a receiver is the last receiver in a daisy chain, its End
Unit DIP switch setting needs to be changed. See DIP
switches, item
