Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices for XTP communication 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 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 (see
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 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 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.
