TP Cable Termination
ATTENTION:
•
Do
not
use Extron UTP23SF‑4 Enhanced Skew‑Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the XTP products or with DTP2 transmitters or receivers. The
DTP2 211 does not work properly with these cables.
•
N’utilisez pas le câble audiovisuel Skew‑Free UTP version améliorée UTP23SF‑4
Extron ou le câble STP201 pour relier les produits XTP à des émetteurs ou
récepteurs DTP2. Le DTP2 211 ne fonctionne pas correctement avec ces câbles.
Supported cables —
The DTP2 211 transmitter and receiver are compatible with CAT 6a, and CAT 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 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.
•
Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and DTP 24 connectors 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.
NOTES:
When using CAT 6a and CAT 7 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.
