Extron electronic 68-1383-01 REV. E manual TP Cable Termination

Figure 5 shows the recommended termination of TP cables in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, but use the same standard on both ends of the cable.

NOTE: If you are using Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable, use the TIA/EIA T568A standard only.

Figure 5. TP Cable Termination

NOTE: Enhanced Skew-free A/V cable is not recommended for Ethernet/LAN

applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with the

Extron Twisted Pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA 568A

standard.

The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.

The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to transmit the RGB signals..

b Local Inputs (VGA) connectors — Connect analog computer-	RGB
video (RGB) sources to these 15-pin HD female connectors.

NOTES: • The video that is input on this connector, when it is tied to a TP output, is converted to same type of the proprietary TP signal that is output by

the MTP 15HD transmitters. This allows you to eliminate some of the

transmitters in your system.

• When either the input or output of a tie is local (VGA), Extron recommends that the MTP output or input be connected by a minimum of 25 feet (7.5 m) of TP cable to prevent overpeaking.

• The matrix switchers can also input and switch HD component video, component video, S-video, or composite video by using the appropriate adapters and the pins show in figure 6. No configuration of the switcher is required for component or other non-RGB video formats.

* You can input and output additional, genlocked, composite video on these pins.

NOTE: Input only sync signals, no video signals, on the sync pins (13 and 14).
