Figure 13. Twisted Pair Cable Configuration
Supported cables
The switchers are compatible with shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable.
ATTENTION:
• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the device with DTP transmitters or receivers.
• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou
le câble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs DTP.
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances
and reduce transmission errors when connecting to a remote DTP2 endpoint, XTP matrix
switcher, or HDBaseT receiver:
• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best
performance:
• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-236-03
• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-235-03
• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02
• 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-T568B standard.
• Limit the use of 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 shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
