Cable Requirements
Cables to connect the Voyager Local unit to your PC’s system unit are supplied in the package. Your keyboard, monitor and mouse will plug straight in to the Voyager Remote Unit.
The Local Unit to Remote Unit connection cable is not supplied; if you do not have suitable CAT 5, 5E or 6 UTP or STP cable fitted at you site, please consult your dealer.
The Local and Remote units are connected by industry standard structured cabling (Category 5, 5E or 6 UTP/STP,
The cable used should be solid trunk cable. Stranded patch cable will give poor results over longer distances.
The connector wiring must meet the EIA/TIA 568 standart.

The Voyager has been tested with all major makes of CAT 5 cable including BICC- VERO, Mohawk, and
Note: That failure to wire the twisted pairs correctly will impair the video quality dramatically and / or prevent correct operation.
This Voyager 300 extender is designed for use up to a maximum cable length of 350m/1200ft At this length the video quality should still be acceptable even at a screen resolution of 1200x1600 (75Hz). At distances over 100 m You might need a Skew Compensator. It depends on your cable cat5 or cat6 and monitor resolution.
Although a single continuous length of interconnect cable is preferable, operation is possible through multiple Patch Panels. However, the more patch panels the cable is routed through, the greater the chance of video signal degradation.
