Connections

Use RJ-45 connectors to link the output from the transmitter to the appropriate input on
the receiver. Three CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair (TP) cables connect the transmitter with the
receiver.

NOTE: The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or

shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance,
and for optimum performance, STP cables are recommended.

Connect the output from the transmitter to the input of the receiver that has the same
number:

Transmitter port 1 connects to receiver port 1.

Transmitter port 2 connects to receiver port 2.

Transmitter port 3 connects to receiver port 3.

NOTE: Do not use skew-free cable. Extron strongly recommends DTP26 cable,

especially when using high resolutions such as 1920x1200, 1600x1200, or
2560x1600. DTP26 cable is available as non-plenum (part number 22-214-03)
or plenum (part number 22-215-03).

Single link/dual link DVI

Dual link DVI carries signals at resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. Single link DVI
carries signals at resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz.

NOTE: The transmission distance varies greatly depending on signal resolution and on

the type of cable, graphic card, and display used in the system.

To operate in dual link mode, all three TP cables are required and both the source and
display devices must support dual link DVI signals.
To operate in single link mode, only TP cables 1 and 2 are required. Dual link DVI is
backwards compatible with single link DVI.
The DVI/HDMI 201 (single link) receivers can be used with the DVI DL 201 transmitter, in
single link mode (using only TP cables 1 and 2).
