Page 18: Connecting External Devices
CBL-DH-05A 5 m/16.4 ft. [Fig. 5.2] Conversion cable (HDMI-DVI conversion) Note: Since DVI signals are very fast, use a cable meeting the DVI Rev1.0 standard. (IDK’s cables meet the standard.) ■ HDBaseT cable Use a UTP/STP cable meeting Cat5e/Cat6 standard.
Page 19: Precautions Before Connection
FDX-64 Users Guide 5.2 Precautions before connection ■ For installation ● If connecting a cable to the FDX or an external device that connected to the FDX, touch grounded metal to remove electricity from your body before holding the cable.
Page 20 FDX-64 User’s Guide ● If the distance between the FDX and transmitter/receiver is 100 m/328.08 ft. or less, a cable joint can be used. Up to two cable joints are allowed and joints supporting Cat6A (10GBase-T) are recommended. Note: If there is a problem in the transmission path, video or audio may be interrupted. Please check the items above.
