Instruction Manual – HDMI-UTPRO-0808
ESD Warning
To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before
touching any internal materials.
When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be
followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive
smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose.
Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete
with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.
These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive
materials to safely drain static charges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident. ESD
protective equipment can be obtained from 3M™, Desco®, Richmond Technology®, Plastic Systems®, and other such
vendors.

Digital Video – HDMI Specifications
Compatible Formats HDMI, HDCP, DVI (DVI is supported with appropriate conversion cable)
Supported Twisted-Pair Cable Types Cat5e, Cat6/6e, Cat6a, Cat7, STP, FTP
Supported Twisted-Pair Cable
Length
• Up to 328 ft. (100 m); cable quality required in order to meet 100 meter
distance should meet ANSI/TIA/EIA 568A-5 specification or better specification
and be rated for 250 MHz or better.
• For cable runs approaching the 100 meter limit, Cat6/6e, Cat6a, or Cat7 is
recommended.
• It is recommended that the cabling between AMX systems/devices be a
uniform run of solid core cabling with no patch cables or extensions.
• If a patch cable is required (e.g., between a patch panel and an AMX device),
the patch cable should be limited to 5 meters total on each end.
• Best results have been seen using a Cat6 coupling device for attaching the
cables together, even when using lower rated Cat5e cabling.
• If running cables together, then screened cabling should be used to reduce
crosstalk.
• If running Cat5e/6 cables together in a bundle, they can only be coupled for a
distance of up to 60 meters before they must be separated over the remainder
of the run. Cat6a and Cat7, which are shielded by definition, can be bundled for
the entire 100 meter run.
