About this Manual
This manual describes the procedures for installing and using the Extron TP Series
transmitters, including the TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and TP T BNC DA4. The
terms “TP T transmitter” and “transmitter” are used interchangeably throughout
this manual to refer to these three products generically.
About the TP T Series Transmitters
The Extron Twisted Pair (TP) series transmitters provide long-distance distribution
of RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and stereo audio
over Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free
™
A/V UTP cable (recommended) or standard
Category (CAT) 5/5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP),
or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
N
The TP T Series transmitters are designed for and perform best with Extron
Enhanced Skew-Free cable.
Recommended transmission distances
The minimum reliable transmission distance to all receivers, with the exception of
the TP R 15HD A, is 25 feet (7.6 m). There is no minimum distance for transmission
to the TP R 15HD A.
The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and resolution. The
following tables specify the recommended maximum transmission distances from
a TP T transmitter to an Extron TP R series receiver, using Extron Skew-Free A/V
UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable terminated with CAT 5e or CAT 6 rated connectors.
N
Extron recommends using the highest quality cable available and affordable.
Use of pre-terminated and tested cables is also recommended. Cables terminated
on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5e
specifications.
