Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more exible, and
less expensive than coaxial cable. These TP products make cable
runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable
with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission distance

N VGA video transmitters provide pre-peaking, which
boosts the signal before it is transmitted.
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and
resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The
gure below and the table on the next page dene the switcher
input and output cables and specify the recommended
maximum transmission distances. The table also denes the
output Pre-Peak switch positions (see item d on page 2-7) using
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e,
or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
N It is possible to exceed the recommended distance;
however, image quality may be reduced.
N The MTP units are designed for and perform best with
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V
cable terminated in
accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A
wiring standard.
CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less
preferable. We also recommend the use of preterminated
and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should
be tested before use to ensure that they comply with
Category 5 specifications.
