welcome contentsinstallation&operationspecialconfigurationfurterinformationInstallation & OperationConnectionsX100 receiver modules offer straightforward installation and generally requireminimal configuration. The local device (AdderVeiw CATx, Adder CAM, etc.)connects directly to the computer, while the X100 receiver resides at the otherend of the twisted pair cable and attaches to the keyboard, mouse, etc.• Connections.at.the.X100.(remote).moduleCable length adviceThe various X100 receiver models support twisted-pair structured cabling withincategories 5, 5e and 6. Of these three cable types, category 5 generally providesthe best transmission of video signals because its four pairs of conductors arethe most evenly twisted.Category 5e and 6 cables use conductor pairs that are unevenly twisted in orderto combat interference effects encountered within higher frequency networks.While these uneven twists work well for Ethernet signals, they can imposeproblems for the video signals received by the module. The module receives thered, green and blue video signals on separate twisted pairs within the cable. Ifany of the colour signals are made to travel slightly further or shorter distancesthan the others, the result is seen as mis-aligned colours on screen. This is calledskew and becomes more noticeable as cable runs become longer and screenresolutions/refresh rates increase. X100AS models are equipped with specialfeatures to combat the effects of skew - see Skew.adjustment.As an approximate guide, you should expect the following maximum cablelengths:Models Category 5 Category 5e or 6X100 and X100A models 100m ¹ [100m ¹] 50 to 100m ¹ [50 to 100m ¹]X100AS 300m ² [200m ²] 300m ² [200m ²]¹ length limited by skew in the cable.² length limited by bandwidth compensation amplifiers.In each case the initial values represent maximum distances when using screenresolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz; whereas the [bracketted] valuesrepresent distances achievable using resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz.
