Installation

Step 1 Mounting

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the switcher as required (see the XTP T USW 103 User Guide on the Extron website, www.extron.com, for mounting considerations).

Step 2 Connecting Inputs

a.Connect an unbalanced analog audio input source to the 3.5 mm TRS jack (see B above). All three video inputs can share this audio input. HDMI embedded audio is normally given priority.

b.Connect an analog RGB video source to the female 15-pin HD VGA connector, labeled input 1 (see C above).

c.Connect a digital video source to the female HDMI connectors, labeled inputs 2 and 3 (see D above). They can accept HDMI, DVI (with an appropriate adapter), or DisplayPort video signals.

NOTES:

Use an Extron LockIt® Lacing Bracket to secure HDMI cables to the connectors (see the XTP T USW 103 User Guide for insturctions).

Video input from a DisplayPort source must be a dual mode DisplayPort source.

Step 3 Connecting Throughput Devices

a.Connect a twisted pair cable between the XTP connector (see E above) of the XTP T USW 103 to an XTP receiver.

ATTENTION: Do not connect this connector to a computer data or telecommunications network.

The XTP T USW 103 is 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. Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.

zz Use Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cable for the best performance. If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 23 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum

bandwidth of 400 MHz.

zz Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

zz 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 fastener.

Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

Signal LED — Lights when the device is transmitting a video signal or a test pattern.

Link LED — Lights when a valid link between an XTP input and output is established.
