Transmission distances

Transmission distances

The minimum reliable transmission distance between transmitters and receivers is 50 feet for most models. The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency, resolution, and the transmitter/receiver family. The table below lists the recommended maximum transmission distances for most transmitter/receiver families using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable, terminated with CAT 5 rated connectors.

Refer to each product’s user manual to determine the ranges for that family of products.

Recommended transmission ranges at 60 Hz

Video format	Maximum ranges
Composite video, S-video, and
component video and audio	800" (245 m) – 1000" (300 m)
640 x 480	500" (150 m) – 1000" (300 m)
800 x 600	400" (120 m) – 800" (245 m)
1024 x 768	300" (90 m) – 600" (185 m)
1280 x 1024	200" (60 m) – 450" (135 m)

1600 x 1280	150" (45 m) – 450" (135 m)

It is possible to exceed the recommended distances, however, image quality may be reduced.

Extron recommends using the highest quality cable available and affordable, with less than 8 nanoseconds/100 meters of skew (see Termination of TP cable in chapter 2). 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 5 specifications.

Extron Skew-Free A/V UTP cable is recommended for most applications. CAT 5 cable can be satisfactorily used for some products (refer to each product’s user manual). The system can be used with cable other than that recommended, but video performance will be compromised and maximum cable lengths and video resolutions must be decreased.
