6.1.2 Output Cable
HDBaseT was designed to provide Full HD performance up to 100 meters of Cat.5e or
superior cables. In a typical installation, the cable is stretched to its full length between
the HDBaseT Transmitter device and the HDBaseT Receiver device. However
sometimes, especially, in demonstrations or in a lab environment, the cable is rolled
randomly in small turns for convenience. The randomly rolled UTP cable suffers
additional signal impairments (compared to straight cable) and therefore the maximal
operating reach might be reduced. When a Cat.5e cable is randomly rolled, it is
recommended to limit its length to approximate 50 meters. Rolling a Cat.5e cable around
a 70cm fixed diameter plastic drum has just a minor effect on the FEXT (Far End Cross
Talk) when compared to a fully stretched cable.
