Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The UV X-DP-TP-100M is a 4K DisplayPort over CATx Extender with USB 2.0 and
audio passthrough. It distributes uncompressed 4K @ 30 Hz UHD video, audio,
power, RS-232, and USB 2.0 together up to 330 feet (100 m) over a single
CAT6a/ 7 cable. T he extender has a transmitter unit and a receiver unit.

With USB 2.0 passthrough, the extender enables users to control or monitor
a remote ser ver from a harsh environment, or operate a physically inaccessible
PC, server, or workstation remotely. Bidirectional audio passthrough enables
audio distribution in both directions.

The extender units have 48 V PoH and only need one power supply at the
transmitter end to power both transmitter and receiver units. Secure the
transmitter's 12 V power supply with a screw -in connector to prevent the power
from being accidentally disconnected. Power LEDs on both units light when
power is applied to the unit. Signal status LEDs show connections bet ween
devices.

2.2 Features

• Via CAT6a/ 7 cables, the extenders support 4K @ 30 Hz up to 330 feet
(100 meters) and 1080p @ 60 Hz up to 330 feet (100 meters).

• Via CAT5e/ 6 cables, the ex tenders support 4K x 2K @30 Hz output
up to 224 feet (70 meters).

• Supports DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4K @30 Hz.

• Provides USB 2.0 passthorugh over CATx, with USB-HOST built-in TX and USB ­DEVI CE built-in R X.

• Supports bidirectional stereo line audio passthrough over C ATx.

• Provides RS-232 and EDID passthrough over CATx

• All connectors are on one side of each unit for easy installation.

Chapter 3: Connnection and Installation

3. Connection and Installation

1. Using quality DisplayPort cables, connect a DisplayPort source ( Blu-ray™,

games console, satellite/cable T V, media server, etc.) to the DisplayPort IN
port of the transmitter.

NOTE: Make sure that the source and display are 4K compatible if you are

attempting to transmit an Ultra HD signal—check that all devices are
correctly configured for input/output compatibility.

2. Connect a good quality, well-terminated CAT5e or higher cable bet ween

the CATx OUT of the transmitter to the CATx IN of the receiver.

NOTE: The maximum transmission distances for the extenders are 230 feet

(70 meters) with CAT5e /C AT6 or 328 feet (100 meters) with
CAT6a/CAT7. This value applies to perfect transmission conditions—
including straight cable runs with no electrical interference, bends, kinks,
patch panels, or wall outlets.

If any of the above is a factor in your installation, transmission range may be
affected—avoid this where possible.

3. Connect the DisplayPor t display device (LED/ LCD display or projector) to the

DP OUT of the receiver.

NOTE: We strongly recommend using the supplied mounting brackets to se cure

the receiver to a flat surface behind /near the display device.
Sudden movement of these devices could lead to loss of picture /sound
if connections loose n or strain, resulting in unnecessary service call-backs.

4. Connect the included 12-VDC power supply to the transmitter and power it

on. The PoH function carries power along the length of the cable one way to
power the re ceiver. No additional power supply is required at the display end
of the cable run.
