Extron electronic DTP T UWP 232/332 D manual Twisted Pair Cable Advantages, Transmission Distance

DTP T HWP D and DTP T UWP D systems consist of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The transmitters and corresponding compatible receivers are sold separately. Each purchased transmitter is shipped with a single external desktop 12 VDC power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input. A single power supply connected to either the transmitter or a compatible receiver can power both units through the twisted pair cable that links the units.

Twisted Pair Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial or HDMI 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 (see TP Cable Termination and Recommendations on page 12 for more information).

NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP T HWP and UWP 232 and 332 do not work properly with these cables.

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 twisted pair cable, graphics card, and display used in the system.

•DTP T HWP and UWP 232 D transmitters can transmit 720p, 1080i or 1080p HDTV video signals up to 230 feet (70 m) over STP cable.

•DTP T HWP and UWP 332 D transmitters can transmit 720p, 1080i or 1080p HDTV video signals up to 330 feet (100 m) over STP cable.
