Note
f A LAN cable is required to connect to the network via wired LAN.
f Use a straight or crossover LAN cable that is compatible with CAT5 or higher. Either the straight or the crossover cable, or both cables
can be used depending on the system configuration. Consult your network administrator. The projector will determine the type of the cable
(straight or crossover) automatically.
f Use a LAN cable of 100 m (328'1") or shorter.
f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g Conforming to CAT5e or higher standards
g Shielded type (including connectors)
g Straight-through
g Single wire
g Diameter of the cable core is same or larger than AWG24 (AWG24, AWG23, etc.)
f The maximum transmission distance between the twisted‑pair‑cable transmitter and the projector is normally 100 m (328'1"). It is possible to
transmit up to 150 m (492'2") if the twisted‑pair‑cable transmitter supports the long‑reach communication method.
f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
