g. Addition System Expansion: The “RJ-45 HDMI OUT” port can also be used as link out port
for more system expansions.

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.
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 480p, <70m (230 ft) at 720p / 1080i and <30m (100 ft)
at 1080p.
c. Termination: The RJ45 terminations to the Cat 5/5e/6 cable must be made to the EIA 568B
specification.
