NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP HDMI 230 Tx/Rx does not work
properly with these cables.
Twisted pair recommendations
Supported cables —
The DTP HDMI 230 is compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP,
SF/UTP, and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable.
Cable recommendations —
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 230 feet (70 m) and reduce transmission errors.
• Use Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cable for the best performance. If not using
XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid conductor, STP
cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.
• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA T 568 B standard.
• Use no more 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 CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits, consider the
following:
• Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened,
aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or Velcro
®
.
• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
