Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use quality Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable without severe bends or kinks and avoid running the AV cable in close parallel with high-voltage power lines. Keep cable lengths within the 300 m maximum to maintain the specified resolution and bandwidth. When installing in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, consider using shielded cable and secure connectors. Verify source and display settings (resolution and refresh rate) to match the 1024×768 limit for best image fidelity.
