About the MTP DA4 and MTP DA8

The Extron MTP DA4 and MTP DA8 twisted pair (TP) distribution amplifiers (DAs) distribute
a single TP input signal to four or eight MTP receivers. The TP input can be from any of the
following MTP transmitter and switcher families:

•
The MTP DAs are part of a system (see figure 1) used for long-distance distribution of VGA
or other high resolution video. The MTP DAs can also distribute audio or a serial link over
TP cable. The Extron Enhanced Skew-Free
shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), and foil shielded twisted pair (FTP)
cable are also acceptable.
Figure 1.
The MTP DA inputs a proprietary signal on an RJ-45 connector, buffers it, and distributes
four or eight identical proprietary signals on RJ-45 connectors.
