3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight

coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and

position your HDMI distributors away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
