Tp Cable Advantages; Transmission Distance - Extron electronics MTP DA4 User Manual

NOTE:
A contact closure connector on the rear panel provides the ability to mute individual outputs
or all outputs.
The MTPs ship with external desktop 12 V power supplies that accept 100 to 240 VAC,
50-60 Hz input.

TP Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable.
Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission Distance

The maximum distance for the entire transmission system is determined by the output
frequency, resolution, and the position of the transmitter Pre-Peak switch (if equipped). The
total recommended distances are not affected by the presence or absence of an MTP DA
in the transmission system. The following sections specify the recommended transmission
distances using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated
with CAT 5 rated connectors
NOTES:
The following table specifies the recommended transmission distances and transmitter
Pre-Peak switch positions for MTP 15HD RGB transmission systems.

The MTP DA does not support the remote power feature of the MTP SV and
VTT001. You will have to power the transmitter and all connected receivers.
• It is possible to exceed the recommended distance, however, image quality
may be reduced.
• The recommendations apply to a complete transmission system, which can
include a single transmitter, one or more DAs, and one or more daisy-chained
receivers. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is
300 feet with Pre-Peak off in an MTP 15HD system.
• If you are using the DA as part of an MTP 15HD RS (serial data) transmission
system, be aware that the DA routes the serial link one way only (from the
transmitter to the receivers).
• Also, the transmitter and receiver must be jumper configured to pass the
serial link one way only (see the MTP 15HD RS Series User Guide).
