CTS guidelines highlight the importance of regular communication with installers for tracking project progress, as they are most familiar with day-to-day developments and challenges.

The standard impedance for a DMX (Digital Multiplex) cable is 110 ohms (Ω). DMX is a standard for digital communication networks commonly used to control stage lighting and effects. The 110-ohm impedance is crucial for ensuring the integrity and reliability of the digital signal over long distances. Using cables with the correct impedance prevents signal reflections and ensures proper transmission of the DMX data without errors, maintaining the synchronization and performance of lighting systems.

Preventive maintenance visits (PM/PMV) are primarily designed to ensure that equipment is functioning correctly and to prevent potential failures. This involves cleaning, servicing, and assessing the equipment regularly to maintain optimal performance and longevity. This is in line with industry standards for preventive maintenance, ensuring reliability and reducing downtime.

USB 2.0 supports a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbps. USB 1.1 supports up to 12 Mbps, while USB 3.0 can reach up to 5 Gbps (Option D). USB 3.1 and later can go beyond 10 Gbps (Option C).
