Crestron TPSBLOCK-10 10-Position RJ45 Panel Mount Interface
10-Position RJ45 Panel Mount
Interface: TPSBLOCK-10
Introduction
The TPSBLOCK-10 is a 10-position RJ45 panel mount interface for
Crestron Isys™ tilt touchpanels. The TPSBLOCK-10 is an electrically
and magnetically shielded 10-position, female RJ45 connector mounted
on a printed circuit board (PCB) and a 10-foot cable with a 10-position
RJ45 plug (male).
This interface is designed to provide a lengthy 10-foot connection
between the NET/VIDEO or RGB output from the TPS-IMC tucked
away in a cabinet or under a table to the Isys touchpanel, which is
available to the user. When installed into a panel or desktop pop-up/tiltup device, the TPSBLOCK-10 provides local access by extending the
touchpanel NET/VIDEO port and/or RGB port(s). The RGB port may be
interfaced only when the touchpanel is equipped with an optional
TPS-XVGA-BV RGB Computer Interface Card with Balanced Video. To
interface the touchpanel NET/VIDEO and RGB ports, two
TPSBLOCK-10s must be utilized.
Functional Summary

Peel-and-stick NET/VIDEO and RGB labels are supplied with the
TPSBLOCK-10. If desired, a label may be affixed to the surface of the
panel or desktop pop-up/tilt-up device. A matching AUDIO label is also
supplied for use with non-Crestron 8-position RJ45 interface devices.
Industry Compliance
As of the date of manufacture, the TPSBLOCK-10 have been tested and
found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per
EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785).
Installation
The items required for installation of the TPSBLOCK-10 are appropriate
cutting tools to create the rectangular cut-out area in the panel or desktop
pop-up/tilt-up device, a 0.136-inch (#29 or approximately 9/64-inch) drill
bit, electric drill and two #4-40 screws of adequate length with an
appropriate screwdriver. Refer to the following diagrams and perform the
procedure that begins on the next page.

NOTE: The recommended clearance on each side of the rectangular
cutout area is approximately 0.268 in (0.681 cm). The clearance at the
bottom of the cutout area should be approximately 0.180 in (0.457 cm).
The clearance above the cutout area is zero.
NOTE: If affixing a NET/VIDEO or RGB label near the TPSBLOCK10 (above or below is recommended), a 0.200 in (0.508 cm) by 0.700 in
(1.778 cm) area is required.
NOTE: Extron has made available Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs)
for mounting the TPSBLOCK-10 for Cresnet touchpanel connection.
Refer to “Custom Adapter Plates” on page 5 for details. If using AAPs,
skip steps 2 and 3 in the subsequent procedure.
1. On the panel or desktop pop-up/tilt-up device, determine an
adequate location for the TPSBLOCK-10.
2. Refer to the diagram below. Using the proper tools, cut-out
and remove the rectangular area from the panel or desktop
pop-up/tilt-up device.

5. Refer to the diagram below. At the outer surface of the panel
or desktop pop-up/tilt-up device, loosely install two #4-40
screws of adequate length (not supplied) through the surface
into the TPSBLOCK-10 mounting brackets. Tighten screws
to finger-tight then, using an appropriate screwdriver,
tighten to a torque that is adequate for the surface material.

6. Connect the male RJ45 plug of the TPSBLOCK-10 cable to
the NET/VIDEO or RGB port of the TPS interface module
or TPS wall-mounted interface module.
7. If desired, peel the appropriate NET/VIDEO or RGB label
(supplied) from the paper backing and affix to the surface of
the panel or desktop pop-up/tilt-up device near (above or
below is recommended) the TPSBLOCK-10.
8. At the outer surface of the panel or desktop pop-up/tilt-up
device, connect the touchpanel NET/VIDEO or RGB cable
(supplied with touchpanel) to the female RJ45 connector of
the TPSBLOCK-10.
