| Cables
interconnect electronic devices, carrying signals from a
source to a destination. They are an important, but often
overlooked, component in a display system. Poorly performing
cable can adversely affect an entire system, which is why
they are often called the weakest link in any chain of electronic
devices.
To minimize signal loss for the best possible
performance, it is important to consid er applicability,
quality, and user-friendly characteristics when choosing
the appropriate cable. Most high-resolution video signals
require at least five conductors, more if audio or other
signals need to be routed as well. High-resolution video
signals are more sensitive to signal losses and require
higher performance cables than NTSC signals. For long cable
runs, a low loss cable is more appropriate.
Installer-friendly features, such as flexibility and durability,
translate into reduced installation time and effort. Superior
flexibility makes a cable easy to roll and unroll as well
as maneuver through tight spots. Durability makes a cable
less vulnerable to stress from frequent and fast-paced jobs,
such as rental and staging applications.
Most A/V systems require cable with at
least five conductors, more if audio or other signals need
to be routed as well. High-resolution video signals are
more sensitive to signal losses and require higher performance
cables than do NTSC signals. For longer cable runs, a low
loss cable is more appropriate.
