Transmission Distance
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that
is input to the transmitter. The table on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum
transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see figure 3,
e
on page
9) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable, STP201 cable, or CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7
cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
NOTES:
• The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable terminated in accordance with the
TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less
preferable. 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 5 specifications.
• The recommendations shown in the table on page 4 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 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet
(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.
• Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of twisted pair cable between the
transmitter and the first receiver.
• For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least
100 feet (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
• For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m) may
experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
An over-peaked image may appear bloomed.
