Figure 9. TP Cable Termination

NOTE: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201

cable to link the transmitter and receiver. The DTP DVI 230 D Tx/Rx does not work

properly with these cables.

Supported cables —

The DTP DVI 230 D 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.

Cable recommendations —

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up

to 230 feet (70 m) and reduce transmission errors.

• 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 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 T 568 B standard.

• Use no more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points, punch

down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If pass-through points are required,

use CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using CAT 5e and CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits, consider the

following:

• 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.
