About Video and VGA Cables

Always use very high quality cables and connectors for
connecting sources to your new display. Please read all the
warnings below about wiring in general.
NOTE:
Use only high quality cables and connectors
for all data and video cables. Substandard
!
cables will deliver corresponding results on
the screen such as ghosting. Best results
will always be achieved by using the highest
quality molded cables.
For VGA cable, use a high quality, flexible cable with molded
VGA connectors on both ends (the display's VGA connector
is male). The cable should be constructed of three coaxial
and five twisted pair combination with an overall outer
shield, and 75 ohm impedance. Use waterproof connector
jackets where possible.
The most common cause of poor picture
quality is low quality cables and connectors.
For Video cable, choose high quality cable with 75 ohm
impedance or equivalent. For trouble-free connection to the
vBox, ensure the cable is terminated with molded BNC
connectors.
NOTE:
!
Using high quality cable and connectors is perhaps the single
most important action you can take during installation to
ensure a high quality picture and trouble free life of your
display system.

Be sure to leave drip/service loops in
all cables — as you would with all
marine electronics.
