Supported cables
The XTP PI 400 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:
• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
cable.
• N'utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-Free UTP version améliorée UTP23SF d'Extron ou
le câble STP201.
• To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and STP connectors are
required.
• Afin de s'assurer de la compatibilité entre FCC Classe A et CE, les câbles STP et
les connecteurs STP sont nécessaires.
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors:
• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best
performance:
XTP DTP 24/1000
•
XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000 feet (305 m) spool
•
XTP DTP 24 Plug
•
• If you are not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum Extron recommends 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.
NOTE: Using more than three patches with the XTP PI 400 yields varying maximum
cable lengths (see the table on the next page).
