Introduction, cont’d Introduction
The Extron CAT 5 receivers receive long-distance transmissions
of RGB video, component video, S-video, composite video, and
stereo audio over shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable.
The minimum reliable transmission distance is 50 feet. The
maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and
resolution. The following table specifies the recommended
maximum transmission distances using Belden Media Twist
1872A 350 MHz cable or equivalent terminated with Category 6,
or at least Category 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.
Recommended transmission ranges at 60 Hz
Video format Maximum range
Composite video and audio 1000 feet
Component video and S-video 1000 feet
640 x 480 1000 feet
800 x 600 800 feet
1024 x 768 600 feet
1280 x 1024 400 feet
1600 x 1280 200 feet
It is possible to exceed the recommended distances,
however, image quality may be reduced.
The CAT 5 receivers can only receive and output signals
transmitted by Extron CAT 5 transmitters. This user’s manual
documents the installation, features, and operation of the CAT 5
receivers only. For information about the CAT 5 receivers, refer
to the CAT 5 Transmitter Family User’s Manual, which
accompanies the transmitters.
