Selection of Cable

a.Selection: Most makes and versions of Cat 5/5e/6 cables will work with DVI-C5-S Transmitter and DVI-C5-R Transceivers. However, since the quality and characteristics of Cat 5/5e/6 cables varies it has been found that some perform better than others. The major factor influencing the transmitting distance is the skew property of the cables. Skew represents the difference in propagation delay between the fastest and slowest set of wire pairs. A lower skew will mean a longer video transmitting distance.

Cat 5/5e/6 cable with a skew of lower than 15ns/100m should enable a cascading length of:

<80m (275ft) @ 800 x 600

<50m (175ft) @ 1024 x 768

<40m (150ft) @ 1280 x 1024

b.Skew Property: A Cat 5/5e/6 cable with a skew lower than 15ns/100m should enable a cascading length of < 80m (275 ft) at 800x600, <50m at 1024x768, and < 40m at 1280x1024.
