About the TP Receivers
The TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV and TP R 15HD are Extron
Twisted Pair (TP) receivers that receive transmissions of RGB
video, component video, S-video, composite video, and stereo
audio over Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or
standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP),
shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair
(FTP) cable. Standard transmission distance is shown in the
tables below. Minimum reliable transmission distance for the
TP R BNC A and TP R BNC AV is 50 feet. The TP R 15HD A
provides reliable reception and high quality video output
without minimum distance limitations.
Maximum distance is determined by the output frequency
and resolution. The following table species recommended
maximum transmission distances using Extron Enhanced
Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable, terminated with
CAT 6, or at least CAT 5e, rated connectors.
