Tips for achieving good quality links
Due to the large volumes of data that must be transferred between
the transmitter and receiver, every AdderLink XD522 installation
is highly dependent upon good quality CATx cable links. Video
performance is particularly reliant on high speed communication
channels. For this reason, the AdderLink XD522 units periodically
test the link quality to determine which of two video transfer modes
can be supported: Low Rate or High Rate. Please see page 3 for
details about high and low rate video modes.
The main factors that affect link quality are:
• The length and type of CATx cable used,
• The number, length and type of intermediate patch connections,
• The quality of the cable terminations.
The table below provides a brief overview of distances that may be
achieved using different CATx cable types. Please see the full user
guide for more details.
