Extron electronic MTPX Plus Series Installation, cont’d, Signal inputs, 4 - TP cable termination

Installation, cont’d

Signal inputs

A	Inputs (TP) connectors — Connect the TP outputs of compatible MTP or VTT
	transmitters to these RJ-45 female connectors.

CDo not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications network.

N• You must configure the switcher for the appropriate content on the audio/ RS-232 wire pair (pins 3 and 6) for each TP input. See “Defining the audio/RS-232 wire pair“ in chapter 3, “Operation”. You can also use SIS commands (chapter 4, "Programmer’s Guide”) or the Windows-based control program (chapter 5, “Matrix Software“).

•For best results, use a combined cable length of at least 50' (15 m) between the transmitter and the receiver on the MTPX output.

•RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.

RJ-45 termination with Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must comply with TIA/EIA T568A only.

•For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs, the

MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation, mono audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and refer to the associated manual to determine which MTP models you have.

Figure 2-4 shows the recommended termination of TP cables in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, but use the same standard on both ends of the cable.

Figure 2-4 — TP cable termination

NEnhanced Skew-free A/V cable is not recommended for Ethernet/LAN applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron’s Twisted Pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA 568 A standard.

The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.

The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to transmit the RGB signals.
