About the TP Receivers

The Extron Twisted Pair (TP) receivers receive transmissions of RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and stereo audio over Extron’s Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable. The TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV receivers are designed for longer transmission distances (200 to 1000 feet) and the TP R 15HD A is designed for shorter transmission distances (100 to 800 feet).

The minimum reliable transmission distance for the TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV is 50 feet. The TP R 15HD A provides reliable reception and high quality video output without the minimum distance limitation.

The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and resolution. The following table specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using Extron skew-free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with CAT 6, or at least CAT 5e, rated connectors.

Extron recommends using the highest quality cable available and affordable. We also recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5e specifications.
