Supported cables
The DTP2 T 202 FB is compatible with shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted
pair (U/UTP) cable. However, Extron strongly recommends that you use STP cable to
achieve best performance.
ATTENTION:
•
To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and STP connectors are
required.
•
Afin de s’assurer de la compatibilité entre FCC Classe A et CE, les câbles STP et
les connecteurs STP sont nécessaires.
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.
•
Use the following Extron XTP DTP2 24 STP cables and DTP2 24 connectors for the
best performance:
XTP DTP2 24/1000
Non-Plenum 1000 feet (305 meters) spool
22-236-03
XTP DTP2 24P/1000
Plenum 1000 feet (305 meters) spool
22-235-03
XTP DTP2 24 Plug
Package of 10
101-005-02
•
If not using XTP DTP2 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 STP 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 hook and loop fasteners.
•
Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
