Enhanced Skew-free A/V cable is not recommended for Ethernet/LAN
applications.ThiscableisspeciallydesignedforcompatibilitywithExtron’s
TwistedPairproductsthatarewiredusingtheTIA/EIA568Astandard.
The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths
andshouldbeusedtotransmittheRGBsignals.
The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to
transmittheRGBsignals.
