All other cable requirements will be addressed with a professional grade cables including (but not limited to)
fibre, VGA, high bandwidth digital video (HDMI and DVI) and be fit for the intended purpose.
In general the patch leads shall be pre-made, all patch leads shall be of a suitable length and with a minimum
of length spare.
All network cabling must comply with RMIT Design Standards Brief – Section 10 Communications. See Section
10.4 for specific details.
Installed HDMI cables must comply with the requirements in section 2.15.1.
All performance/acceptance testing is to include patch and fly leads. Typically a maximum Native HDMI cable
run should not exceed 15mtrs including patch and fly leads. For distances greater, CATx based extenders must
be used.
USB extenders and high bandwidth video extender devices are permissible where nominal cable lengths are
not sufficient. Cables used for this purpose must be clearly labeled as AV cables at both ends to avoid
confusion with data networking cables.
All UTP/STP CATx cabling used must be distinguishable from data networking cabling and must be provided
with a purple coloured PVC sheath.
