Transmission Distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The table on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see item E on page 9) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

NOTES:

•The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with

Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less preferable. We also recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.

•The recommendations shown in the table on page 4 apply for a single transmitter and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet

(150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists of one transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.

•Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of twisted pair cable between the transmitter and the first receiver.

•For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least 100 feet (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch is on.

•For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m) may experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
