4 Wiring and Connections
4.1 HDMI Cables
Important items to consider when planning or installing a system using IP Video devices.
– High quality HDMI cables are very important when passing UHD. Adding deep color and HDR raises the need for high quality cables.
– Long HDMI cables can introduce signal degradation so Savant recommends using the shortest possible HDMI cables.
4.2 10G Ethernet
Fiber (SFP+)
Enhanced small form-factor pluggable connection. Use a Savant certified Direct Access Copper (DAC) SFP+ cable to connect the chassis to the 10G
switch, or Savant certified fiber and fiber connectors along with Savant certified SFP+ modules.
Transport Distance
DAC cable 6ft (2 m)
OM3 multi-mode Fiber 1000ft (300 m)
Copper (RJ-45)
RJ-45 10G Ethernet connection.
Transport Distance
Cat5e 100ft (30m)
Cat6 100ft (30m)
Cat6a 300ft (100m)
Cat7 300ft (100m)
TIP!
The distances in the above Copper table are tested with two patch cables included. If the cable is a homerun (single unbroken length) the distance can be
up to 150ft (50m) for Cat5e/Cat6.
4.3 1G Ethernet/LAN
Standard RJ-45 port that uses 1G reserved data bandwidth commonly used to connect any network compliant device to transmit its data onto the
Ethernet network by sharing the 10G network link. This is a courtesy port it will not work for all network functions. Example: Spanning tree devices are
not supported by this port.
IMPORTANT! Do not connect this port to a network switch.
