TP cable advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. These TP products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome and termination with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal transmitted. The following table specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5/5e/6 cable, terminated with CAT 5 rated connectors.
