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 UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the XTP products.

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

Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

22-236-03

XTP DTP 24P/1000

Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

22-235-03

XTP DTP 24 Plug

Package of 10

101-005-02

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 pass-through points, which may include patch points, punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

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.

XTP T HDMI, XTP R HDMI specifications

Extron Electronics is a renowned manufacturer of advanced technology solutions for the audiovisual industry. Among their cutting-edge products is the XTP R HDMI and XTP T HDMI, both of which play pivotal roles in signal transmission and distribution within complex AV environments.

The Extron XTP R HDMI is a powerful receiver designed to work seamlessly with Extron’s XTP Systems. This device offers robust HDMI signal processing and is capable of transmitting high-definition video and audio signals over long distances using standard twisted pair cabling. One of its main features is the ability to support resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz, including HDCP 2.2 compliance, which is essential for transmitting protected content. The XTP R HDMI also includes various audio extraction options, allowing users to separate audio from the HDMI signal for independent audio processing.

On the other hand, the XTP T HDMI serves as a transmitter within the same ecosystem, designed to convert HDMI video and audio signals into a format suitable for long-distance transmission. This device also supports 4K resolution and comes with a variety of input options that can cater to diverse installation needs. The XTP T HDMI is equipped with scaling capabilities, enabling users to select a preferred output resolution to match display capabilities, ensuring optimal performance in varied AV environments.

One of the standout technologies included in both the XTP R HDMI and XTP T HDMI is the Extron XTP technology, which provides a robust and reliable way to distribute AV signals over a single twisted pair cable. This technology allows signals to travel distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) without compromising signal quality. Additionally, both units support various formats, including HDMI, allowing for comprehensive compatibility with various sources and displays.

The XTP systems offer flexible setup options with features such as EDID communication, which ensures that the source device can communicate effectively with the display for the best possible image quality. Furthermore, integration with Extron’s proprietary Global Configurator software facilitates simplified configuration and programming, leading to smoother installations and management.

In summary, the Extron XTP R HDMI and XTP T HDMI are essential components for professional AV setups, providing excellent performance in signal transmission with advanced features and technologies that ensure superior integration and functionality in diverse applications.
