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 for HDMI-C5-Series

a. Selection: Most makes and versions of Cat 5/5e/6 cables will work with HDMII-C5-Series.

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.
