18 MLC-810 TUFF VIEW LCD Monitor
4.3. Cable information
The cable used directly impacts the resulting video performance seen on the monitor.
Some important things to consider when selecting the cable are:
 Use 24 AWG wire, if possible. Do not try to use 28AWG wire in the crimp pins, it
will not be successful.
 For best performance use twisted pairs in the cable. As a minimum, USB and
audio must be run in a twisted pair. For very long cable runs (>5 meters), ideally
audio should be in a shielded (coaxial) wire.
 Fit a ferrite bead around the PC end of the cable – to minimise EMI from the PC.
 Use a cable with an outer shield, and connect this shield to the monitor’s Frame
GND pin and frame ground on the PC’s DB15 and DB9 (or USB) connectors.
 For best performance, the RGB signals should be run in coaxial wires.
 If for cost reasons the cable is not going to have coaxial wires, then use
twisted pairs for the video signals. The signals in the pairs should be as
specified in the pin assignments table.
