Supported Cables
The DTP2 T 201 D Series of transmitters are compatible with shielded twisted pair (F/UTP,
SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable.
NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201
Cable Recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.

cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP2 T 201 D products do not work
properly with these cables.
Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and DTP 24 connectors for the
best performance:
•
XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool
XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool
•
•
XTP DTP 24 Plug
If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid
conductor, STP cable with a bandwidth of at least 400 MHz.
Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.
Use no 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 Velcro
•
Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
