XTP board XTP ports —
The XTP input boards and output boards 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)
and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable.
ATTENTION:
• Do not connect these boards to a computer data or telecommunications network.
• Ne connectez pas ces cartes à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de
télécommunications.
• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the XTP products.
• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou
le câble STP201 pour relier les produits XTP.
• To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and STP connectors are
required.
• Afin de s’assurer 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 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 cables, 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 only (patch
cables, see figure 19 on the previous page).
• 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 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 20 m, 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.
