MLS 608 D Series • Setup Guide (Continued)

Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Transmission Distance

CAUTION: Do not connect the MTP cable to any LAN port, telecommunications network, or digital video output port. Likewise, do not connect a LAN cable to any MTP or digital video output port.

There are different maximum distances for analog and digital signals.

Analog signals —

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the MLS 608 D. The table below specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using Extron Enhanced Skew-FreeA/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

NOTE: The transmission distance varies greatly depending on the signal resolution and on the type of cable, graphics card, and display used in the system.

For any transmission distances beyond 350 feet (100 m), turn on the pre-peak function on the transmitting device (MTP transmitter).

Digital signals —

NOTES: • The transmission distance varies greatly depending on the signal resolution and on the type of cable, graphic

card, and display used in the system.

• DO NOT use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable to link the switcher digital output port and the

MTP/HDMI U R receiver. Use of this cable will cause problems with the digital signal input side of the receiver.

• For resolutions of 1600x1200, 1920x1200, and 1080p, Extron strongly recommends STP201 cable, or equivalent.

STP201 cable consists of four individually shielded copper pairs and an overall braided shield that help reduce crosstalk and extend these resolutions up to 150 feet (45 m).

• It is important to ensure the cable from output 1 on the switcher (see page 1, H ) is connected to input 1 on the

receiver (see page 1, ).

Likewise, output 2 on the switcher must be connected to input 2 on the receiver.
