Receiver connections
Connections to the receivers are made using standard shielded twisted pair network
cables of Category 6 (S/STP or S/FTP) or better. The use of shielded cables is important
to maintain compliance with radio frequency energy emission regulations and ensure a
suitably high level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances. For best results, Adder
recommends S/FTP CAT7 cable such as Adder part number VSCAT7-50.
The total link length to any receiver should not exceed 50 meters (160 feet). Patch
panels or cable couplers should only be used close to the transmitter unit, connected by
CAT7 patch cables of no more than 2m in length. The overall cable run must be reduced
by 5m if a coupling is used. Please see Appendix A for further details about extender
cables.
To connect a link cable
1 For each of the four links, use shielded network cable of Category 6 or better to join
the receiver to one of the four LINK ports. Any of the LINK ports can be used in any
order or can be left vacant if not required.
IMPORTANT: These are NOT Ethernet ports and must not be
connected to network switches or any devices other than the
ALDV100R or ALDV120R receivers.
2 At the remote end, connect the link cable to the module and then connect the module
to the HDMI socket of the screen.
If DVI-D connections are required at the remote end, substitute the supplied
ALDV100R modules for ALDV120R units. These convert the HDMI signals to DVI-D
(note that audio is not supported within the DVI specication).
Maximum link length is 50 meters,
however, this must be reduced by
5 meters if a coupling (i.e. patch
cable) is used.
