e
Pre-Peak switch — The Pre-Peak switch alters the TP signal output to correct for
long cable runs. See the
for suggested switch settings based on the
transmitted video format and transmission distance.
f
Transmitter Output connector — Connect one end of a TP cable to this RJ-45 female
connector on the transmitter. Connect the free end of the same TP cable from the
transmitter to the receiver’s Input RJ-45 female connector. See “
”
below to properly wire the RJ-45 connectors.
CAUTION: Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications
network.
TP Cable Termination
NOTE: RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with the
TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.
RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free AV UTP cable must comply with TIA/EIA
T568A only.
Figure 4 shows the recommended termination of TP cables in accordance with the TIA/EIA
T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5, 5e, or 6
cable, but use the same standard on both ends of the cable.
NOTE: If you are using Enhanced Skew-Free AV cable, use the TIA/EIA T568A standard
only.
Figure 4.
TP Cable Termination
NOTE: Enhanced Skew-free AV cable is not recommended for Ethernet/LAN
applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron
twisted pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA 568 A standard.
The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths and
should be used to transmit the RGB signals.
The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to
transmit the RGB signals.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end and
T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs reversed)
is a “crossover” cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is called
a “straight-through” cable, because no pin/
pair assignments are swapped.
