N
The transmitters, receivers, and matrix switcher are designed for and perform
best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance with
the TIA/EIA T 568A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, 6, and 7 cables are acceptable,
but less preferable. We also recommend the use of preterminated and tested
cables. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they
comply with Category 5 specifications.
N
The recommendations shown in the three tables apply equally for a transmission
line that consists of a single transmitter, the switcher, and receiver and for a
transmission line that encompass a transmission daisy chain. For example, the
maximum suggested range (MTPX TP output to MTP receiver) for 1024 x 768
video is 500’ (150 m) (table 2 and table 3), whether the transmission line consists
of the switcher and a single receiver or the switcher and three daisy-chained
receivers. This can be extended to 600’ if the output is one that has the Pre-Peak
function and it is turned on.
