Terminating shielded cable

The Tx and Rx each include two shielded RJ-45 connectors and a length of self-adhesive shielded tape that you can use to make the STP cables that connect the transmitter and receiver.

NOTE: Extron supplies the connectors and the shielded tape. You must supply the

CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 6a STP cable.

Terminate the STP cable as follows:

1.Peel back the cable shielding (see Figure 7) from the end of the cable the length of the

RJ-45 connector body (approximately 7/8 inch [2.2 cm]) and fold it back.

Peel back shield and fold back.

2.Cut away and discard the clear cellophane inner wrapper from the end of the cable back to the folded-over cable shielding.

3.Peel the backing off the self-adhesive shielded aluminum tape and wrap it around the folded-over cable shielding, slightly overlapping the beginning of the tape (see figure 8).

4.Cut the unused portion of the shielded tape and retain for shielding other RJ-45 connectors.

5.Feed each individual wire into the appropriate slot of the RJ-45 connector and crimp the cable in the normal manner, folding the tangs at the end of the connector over the shielded tape (see figure 9).

DTP DVI 301 • Installation and Operation

DTP DVI 301 specifications

Extron Electronics is renowned for producing high-quality signal processing and distribution solutions, and the DTP DVI 301 stands out as a versatile and efficient tool for transporting DVI signals. This device is part of the DTP (Digital Twist Pair) series, designed to simplify AV system installations while maintaining signal integrity over long distances.

The DTP DVI 301 is equipped with key features that make it a preferred choice for both commercial and residential applications. One of its primary functionalities is its ability to extend DVI signal up to 300 feet (90 meters) over a single twisted pair cable. This capability ensures that high-resolution video signals can be transmitted without degradation, making it ideal for environments where distance between the source and display device is significant.

A standout characteristic of the DTP DVI 301 is its support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which is crucial for ensuring compatibility with various digital content sources like Blu-ray players and streaming devices. This feature allows users to transmit protected content without interruption, thereby maintaining compliance with industry standards.

The unit supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, allowing for sharp and clear images suitable for a range of applications from corporate presentations to home theaters. Furthermore, it includes an automatic input cable equalization feature, which compensates for signal loss that can occur over longer run times, ensuring robust signal integrity.

The DTP DVI 301 also incorporates Extron’s patented DTP technology, which intelligently manages the transmission of digital video, audio, and control signals through a single cable. This integrated solution reduces the complexity of installations while providing reliable performance.

Additionally, the device features a compact design suited for easy mounting in AV racks or discreet installation in conference rooms. It includes an LED status indicator that provides immediate feedback on power and signal availability, enhancing user experience during operation.

Ease of use is further emphasized with its simple plug-and-play setup, requiring minimal configuration, making it accessible even for users with limited technical expertise. The DTP DVI 301 is a durable, feature-rich solution that not only meets the demanding needs of modern AV systems but also simplifies installation processes, ultimately benefiting integrators and users alike.
