Some Cat5e/Cat6 cables require a large green delay. Video quality can be often be vastly improved by using standard crossover patch cables at both ends of the link rather than straight patch cables. For details see
Appendix D: Advanced Cabling Issues (Skew), page 55.
Sometimes the optimum skew adjustment will actually be one step out from that suggested by the test card due to the way some monitors sample the signal.
The maximum amount of skew correction available is 42nS. This is more than adequate for the vast majority of cables. However, it may not be enough if you are using a particularly long run of a cable which exhibits severe delay skew.
