    - Category 5e rated UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pairs) cable with solid conductors is the minimum requirement to connect the GCE250 local unit to the GCE250 remote unit. Cable of a lesser standard will result in degrading of the video signal. For best performance, we strongly recommend Category 5e or Category 6 cables.
