To connect the link cable(s)

The links between the transmitter and receiver modules are made using between one and four twisted pair cables, specified to Category 5 or higher. Each cable carries video and audio signals to each receiver module.

When a single receiver is attached to a link cable, the maximum length of that link cable is 300m (1000 feet).

However, if further receivers are connected in cascade to the initial receiver using its LINK OUT port (AdderLink AV101 models only), then the overall length of the link cables used must be reduced. For further information, please refer to the section Making cascade connections.

NOTE: Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair link cable(s) alongside power cables.
