The DVI over one CAT6 has a maximum distance ratin

based on the
bandwidth
(
i.e. resolution and color
)
of the video bein
g
transmitted. When
used with hi

y
CAT-6a cablin
g
,
y
ou ma

expect a maximum
extension ran
g
e of 200 feet
(
60 meters

at 1920x1200 or 1080p resolution at
up to a 60Hz refresh rate. Lower qualit

cablin

or older standards such as

cables will shorten the maximum achievable extension distance.
