Installation About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers provide a system for long‑distance distribution of A/V signals over Category (CAT) 5 shielded (STP), unshielded (UTP), or foil shielded (FTP) twisted pair cable. They are part of the Extron VersaTools distribution amplifiers, switchers, transmitters, receivers, and associated video accessories.
The table below identifies the generation of transmitter and/or receiver. If any of the above scenarios are true, consult the VersaTools MTP Series User's Manual or www.extron.com for instructions on properly setting the jumper. Only new generation units have jumpers.
For rack mounting, use any of the rack shelves listed in the "Accessories" table in the Appendix, page A‑2. UL Guidelines Refer to the VersaTools MTP Series User's Manual for Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertaining to the installation of electronic equipment into a rack.
