About the TP Receivers
The Extron Twisted Pair (TP) receivers receive transmissions of
RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and
stereo audio over Extron’s Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or
standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP),
shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP)
cable. The TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV receivers
are designed for longer transmission distances (200 to 1000 feet)
and the TP R 15HD A is designed for shorter transmission
distances (100 to 800 feet).
The minimum reliable transmission distance for the TP R BNC A,
TP R BNC AV, and TP R AV is 50 feet. The TP R 15HD A
provides reliable reception and high quality video output
without the minimum distance limitation.
The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency
and resolution. The following table specifies the recommended
maximum transmission distances using Extron skew-free A/V
UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with CAT 6, or at
least CAT 5e, rated connectors.
Extron recommends using the highest quality cable
available and affordable. We also recommend the use of
pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on
site should be tested before use to ensure that they
comply with Category 5e specifications.

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

transmitted by Extron TP transmitters. This user’s manual
documents the installation, features, and operation of the TP
receivers only. For information about the TP transmitters, refer
to the TP Transmitters Family User’s Manual, which accompanies
the transmitters.
