For the DTP ports only —
Extron recommends the following practices to achieve full transmission 
distances up to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce transmission errors.
Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for 
the best performance:
XTP DTP 24/1000
  Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool  22-236-03
XTP DTP 24P/1000  Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool  22-235-03
XTP DTP 24 Plug  Package of 10  101-005-02
If 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 only (patch cables, see figure 8 on page 10).
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.
ATTENTION:
•  Do not connect these boards to a computer data or 
telecommunications network.
•  Ne connectez pas ces port à des données informatiques ou à 
un réseau de télécommunications.
•  Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP 
cable or STP201 cable to link the matrix switcher to Extron DTP 
or XTP products or HDBaseT-enabled devices.
•  N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-Free UTP version améliorée 
UTP23SF d’Extron ou le câble STP201 pour relier la grille de 
commutation avec des produits XTP ou DTP d’Extron, ou des 
appareils équipés HDBaseT.
•  To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, STP cables and 
STP connectors are required.
•  An de s’assurer de la compatibilité entre FCC ClasseA et CE, 
les câbles STP et les connecteurs STP sont nécessaires.
NOTE:  When using cable in bundles or conduits, consider the 
following: 
•  Do not exceed 40% ll capacity in conduits.
•  Do not comb the cable for the rst 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.
Local and Mic/line audio connectors
Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of 
the connector.

ATTENTION:
•  For unbalanced audio output, connect the sleeves to the ground 
contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts.
•  Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au 
sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–).
NOTES:
•  The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 
3/16 inch (5 mm).
•  If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the 
exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit.
•  If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires 
can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened.
•  Do not tin the power supply leads. Tinned wires are not as 
secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
