Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Important Twisted Pair Cable Recommendations
The requirements are the same for the twisted pair cable used with the ICS LAN 10/100 (Ethernet)
connector and with the DXLink (RJ-45) connector.
Twisted pair cable is designed to carry Full HD content over 100 meter (328 ft.) cables with control.
For complete cable specifications, see page 23. In a typical installation, the cables should be stretched
to their full length between the Transmitters and Receivers and the enclosure.
Cable runs with a minimum specification of ANSI/TIE/EIA 568A-5 and ratings of 250 MHz or better
may be used with DXLink equipment. However, cable run topology and environmental influences can
affect the overall successful distance capabilities of these runs.
For successful deployments up to 100 meters without consideration to outside variables, AMX
recommends the use of shielded category cable (STP) or Cat6A (or better) versions of unshielded or
shielded twisted pair (UTP/STP) for DXLink runs.
For more details and helpful cabling information, please contact your AMX representative for a copy
of the white paper titled “Cabling for Success with DXLink.”
Important: DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink equipment should only be run within a
common building.
