Power Supply Wiring and Grounding Figure 8 shows how to wire and ground the connector. ATTENTION: • Potential damage to property. Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the transmitter or receiver. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord. • To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter. • The length of the exposed (strippe

Skew Delay Compensation CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, and STP201 cable can lead to registration errors between the Red, Green, and Blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the Red, Green, or Blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images. NOTE: Unless the twisted pair cable is changed, the skew adjustment should need to be made only once, during installation.
