DTP CrossPoint 84 Series Matrix Switchers • Installation 18
TP and Expansion ports
The TP input and output ports are compatible with Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables, as
well as CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable. The
Expansion port requires CAT 5e, 6, 6a, or 7 shielded twisted pair cable.
For the TP ports only —
ATTENTION:
• Do not connect these ports to a computer data or telecommunications network.
• Ne connectez pas ces port à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de
télécommunications.
•
Do not use Extr
on UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or
STP201 cable to link the matrix switcher to Extron DTP or XTP products or
HDBaseT-enabled devices.
•
N’utilisez pas le câble A
V Skew-Free UTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou
le câble STP201 pour relier la grille de commutation avec des produits XTP ou DTP
d’Extron, ou des appareils équipés HDBaseT.
•
T
o ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and STP connectors are
required.
•
Afin de s’assur
er de la compatibilité entre FCC ClasseA et CE, les câbles STP et
les connecteurs STP sont nécessaires.
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.
•
Use the following Extr
on XTP DTP 24 cables and connectors for the best performance:
•
XTP DTP 24/1000
Non-Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool
•
XTP DTP 24P/1000
Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool
•
XTP DTP 24 Plug
Package of 10
•
If you not using XTP DTP 24 cable, Extr
on recommends, at a minimum, using 24 AWG,
solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.
•
T
erminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA T 568 B standard only (see
figure10 on page17).
•
Limit the use of mor
e than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,
punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points
are required, use CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
NOTE: When using cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 65 feet (20 meters), where cables are
straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fasteners.
• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
