READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE DVI CAT5 4X EXTENDER
• The DVI CAT5 4X Extender and DVI CAT5 MSR units are housed in a metal
box for better RF shielding.
• The maximum cable extension is 300 feet (91 meters) for video resolutions
of 1080i and below.
• The maximum cable extension is 150 feet (45 meters) for video resolutions
of 1080p.
• If EMI is present anywhere near the RJ-45 video cable runs, it may
be necessary to use shielded RJ-45 cable. This is to prevent possible
interference from degrading the video signal. Using shielded cable, however,
will reduce the maximum distance that the RJ-45 cable can be run.
• Extensions under 130 feet can use Auto EQ (which is on by default).
Extensions over 130 feet will require you to manually EQ your signal (see
page 5).
• Each cable run must be one continuous run from one end to the other. No
splices or use of punch down blocks.
• High quality CAT-6a cabling should be used for maximum performance.
• Do not use stranded or low/no skew cabling. Solid core cabling should be
used for maximum performance.
• HDCP Compliant.
