Overview
32
The Extron CAT 6 Installation Kits include a pretested, plenum or
non-plenum, Category 6 (CAT 6) patch cable and whatever
coaxial skew cables are necessary to correct measured pair skew.
The CAT 6 cable is preterminated with RJ-45 plug connectors.
The coaxial skew cable is color coded (red, green, or blue jacket)
and is preterminated with BNC connectors.
Termination of CAT 6 Cable
Figure 1 details how the CAT 6 cables in the Installation Kits are
terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568A wiring
standards.

Cable Testing
To ensure proper cable termination, each transmission cable sold
as part of an Installation Kit is tested from end to end to give an
accurate indication of cable quality.
A complete test measures cable length and tests the wire map,
attenuation, NEXT, PSNEXT, ELFEXT, PSELFEXT, return loss,
ACR, and PSARC. All of these tests are critical for digital data
transfer. While all of these tests are important indicators of the
quality of the cable termination, the most critical testing
parameters for video transfer are wire map (T-568-A termination)
and pair length measurements. The largest concern is
equalization of skew between cable pairs. Cable systems of 300
feet or less should exhibit no transmission problems if they pass
CAT 6-D5 channel certification testing.
Equalizing Pair Skew
The manufacturing process for CAT 6 cable leads to a condition
called pair skew. Skew exists between pairs when the physical
length of one wire pair is different from another. As the
transmission cable length increases, the amount of skew
increases. Skew affects the displayed image when the differential
length between wire pairs exceeds 2 feet, causing the timing of
the red, green, and blue video signals to appear out of alignment
(horizontal registration errors). A white vertical line on a black
field can appear as individual red, green, and blue lines that are
close together; the signal transmitted on the shortest wire pair
leads the other colors and appears to the left on the display.
CAT 6 cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair
length. The report on the various pair lengths can be used in
equalizing pair skew. The nominal velocity of propagation (NVP
— the speed at which the signal travels on the transmission line,
measured as a percentage of the speed of light) of CAT 6 cable is
very close to that of conventional coaxial cable. The similarity in
NVP means that an additional length of coax equal to the length
of pair skew, placed on the receiver’s output, equalizes the effects
of pair skew (figure 2).
The installation kit includes skew compensation cable(s) that
compensate(s) for the level of skew observed in testing at Extron.
