Cable Lengths and Distribution Amplifiers

To aid in achieving the bet results from your installa-
tion, we suggest the following minimum standards
for cable runs when an LD100 is used.

To preserve the video quality of the LD100, the
signal path should be no more than –3db down at
25 MHz through a 75 ohm cable. Any distribution
amplifier should have a bandwidth no less than
–3db down at 25 MHz.

The following cable lengths are the maximum rec-
ommended continuous lengths of 75 ohm coax
cable with BNC connectors on each end as well as
15 pin VGA cable (when using the VGA output).
