Choosing cables
If you are permanently installing the projector or using it with long cables, consider the
following suggestions when planning the installation:
•
Use high-quality cables. Use only video cables that are made with 75-ohm cable and
connectors. For high-resolution video, use low-loss video cables. For standard audio, use
audio cables that are shielded.
•
Minimize cable length as much as possible. For video cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use
low-loss cables. For standard audio cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use 12-gauge wire.
•
Do not run audio or video cables next to power or network cables. If they must cross, cross
them at 90 degrees.
•
If you are installing cables in walls, use cables with necessary approvals, such as
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approval.
•
If you are running cables above a dropped ceiling, you must use plenum-rated cables if the
space above the ceiling is open to the space above other rooms. You must use plenum-
rated cables if you are running cables in a duct.
•
Before installing cables permanently, check the setup with the final cables in the open.
