Choose The Best CAT Cable For Your HDBaset 3.0 Extender

With the trending of HDBaset 3.0 switches, HDBaset 3.0 Matrix, HDBaset 3.0 splitters, especially the HDBaset 3.0 extenders widely used for the 4k60hz 18Gbps signal transmission, the customers may run into a problem: there is no picture when they test the extenders with cat6 cable,even very short length, such as 1meter, 2 meter. The main reason is the Cat6 cable.

No all Cat6 cable is fit for the HDBaset extenders. Network cable performance may be affected by many factors,

Such as raw material quality (including aging over time or the use of inferior materials from the beginning), challenging cable installation methods (such as high-voltage environments, forced excessive bending, poor wiring, etc.), tight construction The resulting messy stacking of cables (may cause excessive ambient temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference, etc.). In addition, compared with the length of the signal line, it is also necessary to consider the impact of external factors on the signal transmission power, such as insertion loss, crosstalk, signal delay distortion, etc. These situations need to be avoided during construction.

Construction environmental factors:

Network cable raw materials (including conductor size/material, polymer quality, shielding layer quality, etc.), electromagnetic shielding performance (shielding layer bundling or poor weaving), safety issues (such as the flammability of the cable shell, smoke resistance, heat resistance, etc.) and environmental factors (magnetic field environment, temperature, humidity, etc.) will affect the performance of the network cable in the HDBaseT extender. When selecting network cables, you should consider using the best cables that your budget allows and reserve sufficient transmission bandwidth. For long-term projects, you should also consider the life of the wire material to ensure normal signal transmission.

In order to ensure the good performance of the HDBaseT extender, it is recommended to choose network cables that meet the cat6 standard or higher specifications, and consider whether a shielded network cable is needed based on the actual wiring environment. At the same time, attention should be paid to standardized operations during the construction process

Meanwhile please read the user manual carefully before testing or install the products.

Especially please check the Cat cable requirements below,We strongly recommend high quality F/FTP Cat6a/7 cable when you use these HDBaset 3.0 products.

Caution

The product requires the use of UTP connectors. Please connect in direct interconnection method and do not cross connect.

Advanced

The extender will start protection mode automatically when using UTP termination, which follows the standard of cross interconnection method.

The main reasons why HDBaseT extenders have high requirements on network cables are as follows:

High bandwidth and high-frequency requirements: HDBaseT transmission protocol is a high-bandwidth and high-frequency transmission protocol. According to the “Nyquist” formula, a frequency of at least 250MHz is required to ensure stable signal transmission, and this is the standard parameter for cat6 network cables. If the bandwidth and frequency of the network cable are insufficient, it may not be able to meet the transmission requirements of HDBaseT signals, resulting in signal distortion, attenuation or loss.

Reduce the impact of crosstalk: Near-end crosstalk and far-end crosstalk may occur between twisted pairs in network cables and between multiple network cables. When there are various types of electromagnetic interference or radio interference caused by a large number of electronic devices in the wiring environment, alien crosstalk may also occur. The shielding function can reduce the impact of these crosstalk on signal transmission. For network cables with a shield, the overall shielding can prevent signal crosstalk caused by the surrounding environment. The separate shielding outside the twisted pair can better avoid crosstalk within the cable.
