Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.
As an alternative, an Extron PS 124 Universal 12 VDC Power Supply (part number
60-1022-01) can power multiple MTPs or other Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC
power connector.

Twisted Pair Cable Termination

Figure 10 details the recommended termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in
accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either
standard with CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, and STP201 cable, but ensure that you use the same
standard on both ends of the cable

TP Cable Termination Diagram

NOTES:

RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable (for non-C7 units only) or

STP201 or CAT 7 cable (for C7 units only) must comply with the
TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.

RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable (for non-C7 units only)

must comply with TIA/EIA T568A only.

For proper grounding of STP201 and CAT 7 cable only, ensure the shield

around each wire pair and the shield around the STP201 or CAT 7 cable
are all tied to the RJ-45 connectors on both ends, in accordance with the
connector specifications provided by the manufacturer.

The audio data that is carried on wire pair 3 and 6 is incompatible with the

Extron TPX 88 A, which cannot switch the audio, output it locally, or break it
away.

Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V 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 T568A standard.

The green, brown, and blue wire pairs of this cable have virtually identical

lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.

The orange wire pair of this cable has a different length and should not be

used to transmit the RGB signals.
