3.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the Local and Remote Units you will need CATx (any category 5, 5e, 6 or higher)
cable terminated with RJ45 plugs. Please note that shielded cable is advised to maintain
regulatory EMC compliance.
Interconnect cables must be solid-core type. Stranded patch cable will give poor results over
longer distances. The pairing of the cable and pinning of its connectors should normally be in
accordance with EIA-568B.

Data
* Looking into the RJ45 socket on a Remote Unit, Pin 1 is on the right and Pin 8 on the left.
EIA-568A wiring can also be used. Contact Technical Support for details.
With some cables, video performance may be improved by using a crossover
patch cable at each end, an alternative RJ45 pin-out or an external skew
correction device (see Appendix C: Advanced Cabling Issues (Skew), page
45).
