Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP Communication

Use the following pin configurations for twisted pair cables.

Figure 11. Twisted Pair Cable Configuration

Supported cables

The scalers are compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP,

and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable.

ATTENTION: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or

STP201 cable to link the scaler with DTP transmitters or receivers.

Cable recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up

to 230 feet (70 meters) and reduce transmission errors.

• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best

performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-236-03

• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-235-03

• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid

conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,

punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points

are required, use CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits, consider the

following:

• Do not exceed 40% ﬁll capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the ﬁrst 20 m, where cables are straightened, aligned,

and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
