3.3Remote Unit Installation

Setting the Cable Length Jumpers

If your application uses a CATx cable less than 75m in length, you can continue to the next section.

Remote Units incorporate video equalization circuitry, allowing you to compensate for the loss in image quality that occurs when video signals are transmitted along lengthy CATx cables. At the factory, Remote Units are configured to optimize the video signals for Interconnect cables up to 100m in length.

If you intend to use cables of 100-300m in length:

1.Unfasten and remove the screws on each side of the Remote Unit.

2.Carefully remove the top plate.

3.Locate the three cable length jumpers on the Remote Unit’s main circuit board (see Figure 2).
