Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in the table
above have the same range specifications at 75 Hz.

Extron recommends using at least 25' of TP cable
between the transmitter and the first receiver.

Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an
external desktop 12 V power supply that accepts 100 to
240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input.

Twisted pair (TP) cable advantages

Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less
expensive than coaxial cable. Termination of the cable with
RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and
resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The table
below specifies the recommended maximum transmission
distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see item

5

on page 13) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable
or UTP CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable, terminated with RJ-45
connectors.

It is possible to exceed the recommended distance;
however, image quality may be reduced.

The non-C7 transmitter and receiver are designed for
and perform best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V
cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A
wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable
for the non C7 models, 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.

The recommendations shown in the table on the
preceeding page apply for a single transmitter and
receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the
maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300'
(90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500’ (150 m)
with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists
of one transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and
three daisy-chained receivers.

For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain
must be at least 100' (30 m) from the transmitter when
the Pre-Peak switch is on.

For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer
than 350' (105 m) may experience some form of over-
peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on. An overpeaked
image may appear bloomed.
