Extron electronic MTP DA8 TP cable termination, Power supply wiring, Mute connector and pinout

VersaTools® MTP DA4 and MTP DA8, cont’d

4Output Mute connections — The Output Mute connector provides a way to mute (blank) any or all TP outputs. Each numbered pin of the captive screw connector is assigned to one of the DA’s outputs (pin A is assigned to all DA outputs) (figure 7). When you short and latch a numbered pin or pins to ground, the DA mutes the associated output(s).

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing the captive screw connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

TP cable termination

RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or

TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards for all connections. RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must comply with TIA/EIA T 568 A only.

Power supply wiring

Figure 8 shows how to wire the connector.

Figure 9 details the termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568A or TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards. Use either standard with CAT 5/5e/6 cable, but use the same standard on both ends of the cable.

CAUTION	Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect
	voltage polarity can damage the power supply and
	the MTP DA. Identify the power cord negative lead
	by the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 8).
CAUTION	The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is
	important. The ideal length is 0.2" (5 mm).

Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.
