TP and audio output connections

5Output UTP Link connector — Connect one end of a TP cable to this RJ-45 female connector on the transmitter.

Connect the free end of the same TP cable from the transmitter to the RJ-45 female connector on the receiver.

See TP cable termination, on page 2-8, to properly wire the RJ-45 connector.

The TPS150 works with either shielded or unshielded cables. However, to comply with FCC rules, shielded (STP or FTP) cables must be used.

6Output Audio connector — Connect an audio device, such as powered speakers, to this 3.8 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced audio output.

Figure 2-5 shows how to wire the captive screw audio connector. The connector is included with the transmitter, but you must obtain the cable. Insert the wires into the appropriate openings in the captive screw connector. Tighten the screws on top to fasten the wires.

CAUTION

Connect the sleeve to ground (Gnd). Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits.

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 direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

The audio output always follows the video switch.
