TP Cable Termination
NOTE:
Do
not
use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP DisplayPort units do not work
properly with these cables.
Supported cables —
The DTP TR D/P 330 and DTP T/R DP 230 are 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.
Cable recommendations —
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 m) (DTP T/R DP 330) or 230 feet (70 m) (DTP T/R DP 230) and reduce
transmission errors.
•
Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and DTP 24 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 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 Velcro
®
.
•
Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
