Twisted Pair Recommendations
Supported Cables
The MPS 602 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.
ATTENTION:
Cable Recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and
reduce transmission errors.
•
•
•
•
NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits:
•
Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable to link the XTP products or with DTP transmitters or receivers.
•
N'utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-Free UTP version améliorée UTP23SF d'Extron ou
le câble STP201 pour relier les produits XTP avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs
DTP.
•
Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications network.
•
Ne connectez pas ces (appareils) à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de
télécommunications.
•
No part of the network that uses remote power can be routed outdoors.
•
Aucune partie du réseau qui utilise l'alimentation à distance ne peut être routée en
extérieur.
Use XTP DTP 24 cable and connectors for maximum performance.
If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, use 24 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable
with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.
Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.
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.
•
Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
•
Do not comb the cable for the first 20 meters, where cables are straightened,
aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
•
Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fasteners.
•
Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
