Before you connect

What to check

  1. Check the exact cable-class wording.

  3. Confirm the source and chosen display input support the full target mode.
  4. Treat length and direction markings as properties of the exact assembly.

Keep the assembly identifiable

Save the actual model, length and certification information with your connection plan. A class description alone cannot identify which cable is in your drawer.
