The RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link: • Can be bidirectional in a one-receiver system; that is, the receiver can receive commands from the transmitter and pass RS-232 responses to the transmitter. NOTE: By default, the RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link is unidirectional only from the transmitter to the receiver. Use the internal jumpers in the receiver to enable bidirectional communication in a single-receiver system only (see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5). • Sup

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 item on page 9) e using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. NOTES: • The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP

e EDID select rotary switch — The rotary switch is used to select specific pre- programmed or user-recorded EDID settings. Position 0 of this 16 position rotary switch is used to select the user recorded EDID. Position F passes the EDID from the display connected to the loop-out back to the input. Positions 1 through E select pre-programmed EDID resolutions. NOTE: The refresh rate of the pre-programmed EDID resolutions is selected using the first DIP switch ( ). d Level control — The level

Pre-Peak switch — The Pre-Peak switch alters the twisted pair signal output to correct e for long cable runs. See the table on page 4 for suggested switch settings based on the transmitted video format and transmission distance. NOTES: • Use the internal jumpers to enable bidirectional communication (see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5). • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed section is lon

Power Supply Wiring Figure 8 below shows how to wire the connector. ATTENTION: • Potential damage to property. Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the transmitter or receiver. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord. • The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure

Twisted Pair Cable Termination Figure 9 details the recommended termination of twisted pair 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, and 6 cable, but ensure that you use the same standard on both ends of the c

Skew Delay Compensation CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cable can lead to registration errors between the Red, Green, and Blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the Red, Green, or Blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images. NOTE: Unless the twisted pair cable is changed, the skew adjustment should need to be made only once, during installation. SEQ Receive
