The particluar product they have
for this is an S-VIdeo to 110 Punch Down Jack
that guarantess 125' over Cat 5e cable, this is
essentially the same cable as Cat 5, -snip-
Souns exactly the same as what I suggested on 1/8/03
"I've gone 50-75 ft on occation with standard Cat-5e and Leviton quickport plates (Cat-5 punches down onto back and provides a female s-video jack for a wall plate) this works OK, but I've gotten noise in random weird situations."
Anyway....
How do you "Guarantee" the 125'? What does this company really do if you call them and tell them you have noise and its only a 50' run? What if you have a house full of 125' Cat-5e runs and none of them work right when you go to hook up your matrix switcher to the clients TVs? This sounds like a really strange claim. Especially in area of the country that do not require conduit for their electricity.
As to the person that asked about sheilding.
The Twists in the wire help create a natrually occuring "sheild" in a cat-5/5e/6 wire.
