Other Materials You May Need
• Cat 5e/6 cable—for remote outputs; consider buying a different jacket color for A and B cables
• Infrared emitters and/or infrared remote control receivers—for remote wallplate/receiver IR functionality
• Patch cables (RCA, optical and 3.5mm)
• RJ-45 plugs—for remote outputs; EZ RJ-45 plugs are recommended
• Professional network cable tester—continuity testing is not adequate for Cat 5 cables–twisted pairs must be properly
matched for balanced line performance, so a tester capable of confirming pairs is required
!
!
We strongly recommend testing factory-made cables as well as site-fabricated cables!
All cables must have proper EIA-568B pairing (not crossover configuration) for proper function.
(The EIA-568A standard can also be used, but mixing the two standards could result in confusion or damage.)
!
Many Sources do not support 1080p output on component video!
When planning your system, remember that some “1080p” sources may only offer the highest resolution
on the copy protected, digital video outputs. Similarly, some TVs are not capable of displaying a 1080p
resolution, even if they accept 1080p signals.
