APPLICATIONS

Figures 4-7 show how to use the transceivers in various applications. The terminal block on the back
of the TW3004P has tension clamps instead of screw terminals.
To connect the UTP wires to the terminal block:
1. Use a small screwdriver to open the clamps (+ and -) for each channel.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate holes. Figure 3 shows the UTP wires for channel 1.

Table A shows the distance in feet with coaxitron or video only when using a particular type of
Cat cable. Table B shows the maximum allowable wire gauge for single wire and stranded wire.

NOTE:

Cat5e cable is recommended for optimum video performance.
