2.4 Compatible Cabling

The CAT5 Multi VGA System products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling as
well as skew free CAT5/5e cabling manufactured for video applications. Note that some
skew free Cat5 is specific to a particular vendor and is not compatible with these
products. Please ensure any skew free CAT5 cable is non-proprietary prior to purchase/
installation.
CAT6 cable, due to the manufacture method, can exhibit much greater skew than
standard CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the standard
product offers.
CAT5/5e/6 cabling for the CAT5 Multi VGA Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA
T568B wiring specification (see Appendix A) We also highly recommend that all CAT5
cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an existing
infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the TIA-EIA
T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the units.
