Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the Local and Remote Units you will need CATx (any category 5,
5e, 6 or higher) cable terminated with RJ45 plugs. Please note that shielded
cable is advised to maintain regulatory EMC compliance.
Interconnect cables must be solid-core type. Stranded patch cable will give poor
results over longer distances. The pairing of the cable and pinning of its
connectors should normally be in accordance with EIA-568B.

* Looking into the RJ45 socket on a Remote Unit, Pin 1 is on the right and Pin
8 on the left.
EIA-568A wiring can also be used. Contact Technical Support for details.
With some cables, video performance may be improved by using a cross-over
patch cable at each end or an alternative RJ45 pin-out (see Appendix C:
Advanced Cabling Issues (Skew), page 37).
