Figure 8. TP Cable Termination
Supported cables
The XTP T HDMI and XTP R HDMI are compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable.
ATTENTION:
•Do not use Extron
•To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and STP connectors are required.
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.
•Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best performance:
• | XTP DTP 24/1000 | ||
• | XTP DTP 24P/1000 | Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool | |
• XTP DTP 24 Plug | Package of 10 | ||
•If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.
•Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA T 568 B standard.
•Limit the use of more than two
NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
•Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 20 m, where cables are straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
•Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fasteners.
•Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
