Inputs (TP) connectors — Connect the TP outputs of compatible MTP or VTT
transmitters to these RJ-45 female connectors.
Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications
network.
You must configure the switcher for the appropriate content on the audio/
RS-232 wire pair (pins 3 and 6) for each TP input. See "Defining the
audio/RS-232 wire pair" in chapter 3, "Operation". You can also use SIS
commands (chapter 4, "Programmer's Guide") or the Windows-based control
program (chapter 5, "Matrix Software").
• For best results, use a combined cable length of at least 50' (15 m) between
the transmitter and the receiver on the MTPX output.
• RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with
the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.
RJ-45 termination with Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must comply
with TIA/EIA T568A only.
• For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs, the
MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation,
mono audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and refer to the
associated manual to determine which MTP models you have.
Figure 2-4 shows the recommended termination of TP cables in accordance
with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use
either standard with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, but use the same standard on both
ends of the cable.

applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron's
Twisted Pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA 568 A standard.
The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths
and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.
The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to
transmit the RGB signals.
