Terminating The Interconnecting Network Cat Cable - Elan Video Over IP User Manual

Terminating the interconnecting Network CAT cable

It is important that the interconnecting CAT cable between the ELAN Video Over IP products is terminated using the correct RJ45 pin
configuration. The link CAT cable MUST be a 'straight' (pin-to-pin) CAT cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring
standard as this format is less prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
When installing CAT cables it is advised that you use the best possible CAT cable quality possible. HDMI distribution products will only
work if used with CAT5e standard cable or above. ELAN recommends using a CAT6 cable for your installations, especially when
running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with 4K signal distribution.
It is advised that using any method of patch panel, wall plate or join in the CAT cable is avoided as these may result in signal degrada-
tion. ELAN also recommend using the best quality RJ45 connectors possible.
