TP and audio output connections

5TP connector — Connect one end of an STP or FTP 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 2-6, to properly wire the RJ-45 connector.

Extron recommends the use of STP or FTP cable only.

6Audio 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

Wiring the audio incorrectly can damage the audio output circuits.

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