TP Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more ﬂexible, and less expensive than coaxial

or DVI cable. These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs

simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple,

quick, and economical.

NOTES: • The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded twisted pair

(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but, to ensure FCC Class A

and CE compliance, STP cables are required.

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free

™

A/V UTP cable to

link the transmitter and receiver. Skew-free A/V cable was designed for

most Extron TP transmitter/receiver applications, but the DVI 201 Tx/Rx

does not work properly with this cable.

Control Communications

The RS-232 or infrared (IR) communications are pass-through only; the transmitter and

receiver do not generate or respond to these signals.

Transmission Distance

The maximum transmission distance is determined by the resolution of the signal and the

TP cable that is used.

• With CAT 5/5e/6 UTP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and receive 720p and

1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to 200 feet (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA

video up to 100 feet (30 m).

• With CAT 5/5e/6 STP cable, the Tx/Rx pair can transmit and receive 720p and

1080i HDTV or XGA video signals up to 200 feet (60 m) and 1080p HDTV or UXGA

video up to 125 feet (38 m).

NOTES: • The transmission distance varies greatly, depending on the signal

resolution, type of cable used, graphics card, and display used in the

system.

• For resolutions of 1600x1200, 1920x1200, and 1080p, Extron strongly

recommends DTP26 cable, or equivalent. Extron DTP26 cable consists

of four individually shielded copper pairs and an overall braided shield

that help reduce crosstalk. DTP26 cable extends these resolutions up to

150 feet (45 m).
