About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for two families of
Extron MTP transmitters and receivers.
• MTP products that are compatible with:
•• Extron Enhanced Skew-Free
™
AV UTP cable
•• Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair
(UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
• MTP C7 [CAT 7, C7] products that are compatible with Shielded Twisted Pair 201
(STP201) or CAT 7 cable only.
In this guide, any reference to these products refers to either family, unless explicitly stated.
NOTE: For clarity and where applicable, in this guide, the CAT 5, 5e, 6 versions are
referred to as non-C7 MTPs.
This guide details the installation and operation of the following products:
• MTP T 15HD A twisted pair (TP) transmitter
• MTP RL 15HD A receiver with loop-through
• MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receiver with loop-through and skew equalization
In this guide:
• The term "transmitter" refers specifically to the MTP T 15HD A transmitter.
• The term "receiver" refers to either of the receiver models — the MTP RL 15HD A or
MTP RL 15HD A SEQ.
• The term "SEQ receiver" refers specifically to the MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receiver with
