3 Overview

The TP-202is a twisted pair branching receiver for computer graphics video signals with resolutions from VGA up to UXGA and higher or HDTV signals. It takes a twisted pair signal and converts it into a computer graphics video signal or HDTV signal available on two 15-pin HD outputs, and simultaneously re-transmits the original twisted pair signal to another compatible receiver.

The TP-202UXGA Line Transceiver/DA features:

∙A transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)

∙HD signal reception (high-definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p)

∙Two UXGA outputs on 15-pin HD connectors

∙EQ. and LEVEL controls

∙Selectable polarity for decoding H and V Sync for UXGA graphics

∙A 12V DC power supply and it can power or be powered by the receiver over the same CAT 5 cable

∙A CAT 5 output for transmitting the signal to an additional receiver

3.1About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m (164ft) on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, use heavier gauge cable (TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances). For units that are connected via RJ-45 connectors, make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units that are connected via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).

For a TP cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
