TP Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than USB cable.
These transmitter and receiver twisted pair (TP) products make cable runs simpler and
less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and
economical.
NOTE: The transmitter and receiver pair work with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables; but to ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance,
STPcables are required.
Features
• Transmits USB signals over CAT 5/5e/6/7 cables — Standard twisted pair cables
provide an economical, easily installed cable solution.
• Long distance transmission — CAT 5/5e/6/7 UTP/STP cable up to 450 feet (135m)
can be used.
• One inch high, quarter rack width, metal enclosures — With low profile
enclosures, transmitters and receivers can be discreetly installed in locations such as
behind a plasma or LCD flat-panel display.
• External 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power supply — Included
with each transmitter and each receiver.
• USB Extender AAP and Decora Tx/Rx — The AAP and Decora versions have an
RJ-45 rear connector in a single gang plate size enclosure.
