When Installing the HDBaseT Cable
The HDBaseT CABLE Install
• LAN cables are fairly resilient. Yet, any rough handling, such as tight tie wraps, clamping or stapling can damage the
cable, compromising performance or even preventing signal transmission. Tie cables loosely with appropriate cable
wraps.
• Another important issue for cable integrity is the bend radius. Bend radius is the inside curve of the cable during and
after installation. It is best to keep the minimum bend radius at least at four times the diameter of the cable.
• Cables should be kept at a distance of at least 30 cm (11.8 inches) from power cables. In an environment prone to
high EMI, it is best to use shielded cables. Most Cat5e cables are unshielded, which makes them more flexible, durable
and inexpensive. Thou shalt keep your cables away from power sources If using unshielded cables, keep them away
from any source of EMI such as other cables, transformers and light fixtures. In high RF environments, it is best to use
shielded cables.
• If possible, avoid patch cords or cables altogether, as every connection introduces losses in the transmission. If
absolutely necessary, make sure to use less than two per cable run and keep each less than five meters from the end.
