Example of network connections via a twisted-pair-cable transmitter
The projector has a function that can receive Ethernet signals from a twisted-pair-cable transmitter together with video and
audio signals via a LAN cable. Connect a LAN cable to the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal of the projector. (x page 27)

Twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Note
f For the LAN cable between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g Compatible with CAT5e or higher
g Shielded type (including connectors)
g Straight-through
g Single wire
f The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328’1”). If this
distance is exceeded, image and sound may be disrupted and may cause a malfunction in LAN communication.
f When laying cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, check that cable characteristics are
compatible with CAT5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When using a relay connector midway, include it in the measurement.
f Do not use a hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f Do not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
f To reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the
projector without any loops.
f Lay the cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f When installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f After laying the cables, conrm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK/USB] menu → [DIGITAL LINK
STATUS] is displayed in green (indicates normal quality). (x page 89)
f For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been veried with the DIGITAL LINK
compatible projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verication for devices
of other manufacturers has been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been
veried. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective
manufacturers.
