Deployment Recommendations 
In the Paragon II system, video quality is usually affected by these 
factors: 
 
Type of the user station: P2-UST, P2-EUST, or P2-EUST/C 
 
UTP cable length between the user station and the CIM (server) 
 
UTP cable type: Belden or non-Belden cable 
P2-EUST and P2-EUST/C have the function of automatic skew 
compensation when used with P2CIM-APS2, P2CIM-AUSB, 
P2CIM-AUSB-C or P2CIM-ASUN, and thus provides better video quality 
than P2-UST. Belden cable is proven to provide better video quality than 
non-Belden cable in Raritan's lab. Therefore, our recommendation for 
good or even excellent video quality is as follows: 
With non-Belden cables 
Cable length (feet) 
Deployment 
0 ~ 1000 
P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C* 
 
With Belden cables 
Cable length (feet) 
Deployment 
 500 
P2-UST, P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C 
501 ~ 1000 
P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C* 
* For P2-EUST or P2-EUST/C to provide automatic skew compensation, 
make sure this user station is used with the appropriate CIM type: 
P2CIM-APS2, P2CIM-AUSB, P2CIM-AUSB-C, P2CIM-APS2DUAL, 
P2CIM-AUSBDUAL, P2CIM-ASUN, P2CIM-APS2-B, or P2CIM-AUSB-B.
