Introduction
The Extron VTT001 twisted pair transmitter series and VTR001
twisted pair receiver series provide a system for sending VGA,
RGBHV, and RGBS signals up to 500 feet (150 meters) over
Extron Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable. They can also send these
signals over CAT 5/5e/6 UTP cable.
Both transmitter and receiver have remote power capability.
For transmission distances up to 300 feet, the applied power is
required at either the transmitter or the receiver. Greater
distances require power to be applied locally to both transmitter
and receiver.
Depending on the model, both transmitter and receiver
modules may be mounted in a wall, a rack, or in other Extron
products that accept a double-sized MAAP connector panel
(CPM101, CPM200/CPM112R, etc.), or Extron AAP mounting
products; or they may be set on a tabletop. The MAAP models
come in a black or white finish; the AAP models come in black,
white, or gray finish; and the tabletop model comes in a black
finish.

Cable testing
To ensure proper cable termination, each transmission cable
system that uses CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable should be tested
(Extron Skew-Free A/V UTP cable does not need to be tested).
Testing the cable from the RJ-45 connections at the transmitter
and receiver gives the most accurate indications of cable
problems.
There are two varieties of cable runs: simple runs, in which a
single cable is terminated only at the transmitter and receiver,
and complex runs, which can include patch bays and multiple
terminations and lengths of cable. In either case, the entire
cabling system should be tested.
A complete test measures cable length and tests the wire map,
attenuation, NEXT, PSNEXT, ELFEXT, PSELFEXT, return loss,
ACR and PSACR. All of these tests are critical for digital data
transfer. While all of these tests are important indicators of the
quality of the cable termination, the most critical testing
parameters for video transfer are wire map (T-568-A or T-568-B
termination) and pair length measurements. The largest
concern is equalization of skew between cable pairs. Cable
systems of 300 feet or less should exhibit no transmission
problems if they pass at least CAT 5e or preferably CAT 6-D5
channel certification testing.

The Microtest OMNI SCANNER 2 performs comprehensive
certification testing to the proposed CAT 6 standards. Other
manufacturers also make testing equipment. The tests include
advanced diagnostics for troubleshooting the cause and location
of many cable and termination problems. For simple
installation testing, the Microtest MICRO SCANNER PRO tests
wire map and cable length, including individual cable pair
length.
Equalizing pair skew
Pair skew issues are eliminated when you use Extron
Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cables.
The manufacturing process for CAT 5e or CAT 6 network UTP
cable leads to a condition called pair skew. For best results, pair
skew needs to be equalized when using the CAT 5e or CAT 6
cable in A/V applications. The design of Extron’s Skew-Free
A/V UTP cable minimizes pair skew to the point that
equalization is not required.
Skew exists between pairs when the physical length of one wire
pair is different from another. As the transmission cable length
increases, the amount of skew increases. Skew affects the
displayed image when the differential length between wire pairs
exceeds two feet, causing the timing of the red, green, and blue
video signals to appear out of alignment (horizontal registration
errors). A white vertical line on a black field can appear as
individual red, green, and blue lines that are close together; the
signal transmitted on the shortest wire pair leads the other
colors and appears to the left on the display.
UTP cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair
length. The report on the various pair lengths can be used in
equalizing pair skew. The nominal velocity of propagation
(NVP — the speed at which the signal travels on the
transmission line, measured as a percentage of the speed of
light) of TP cable is very close to that of conventional coaxial
cable. The difference in NVP means that an additional length of
coax equal to the length of pair skew, placed on the receiver’s
output, equalizes the effects of pair skew.
CAT 5 TP 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
closely to determine if either the red, green, or blue video image
leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images. These
images can be minimized or eliminated by one of the following
methods:
2-8
VTT001 and VTR001 • Installation
•Switch to Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable.
•Add a skew compensation cable equal to the length of
pair skew to the receiver’s output.
•Install an Extron Skew Equalizer, SEQ 100 15HD
(part #60-676-01) or SEQ 100 BNC (part #60-675-01), on
the receiver’s video output and adjust the skew for the
leading video image.
Sharpness adjustment
The longer the cable being used, the
greater the signal loss. The image
sharpness may be enhanced by
turning a peaking adjustment
screw located on the top of the
receiver. Increased peaking can
compensate for detail (mid- and
high-frequency) loss from low
bandwidth system components
or capacitance in long cables.
Adjust this control using the
included adjustment tool (Extron
part #100-043-02) while viewing
the displayed image to obtain the
optimum picture sharpness.
Turning the control clockwise
increases peaking and turning it counterclockwise decreases
peaking.

Mounting
The mountable transmitter (VTT001 MAAP) and mountable
receiver (VTR001 MAAP) may be attached to a wall with either
a stud-mounted wall box or with a wall mounting bracket
(Extron part # 70-163-xx). Both installations require the double
spaced MAAP connector frame, such as the CPM101). The
transmitter/receiver module can also be attached to any Extron
MAAP device that accepts a double spaced A/V connector
panel, or the modules may be rack mounted. The AAP versions
of the transmitter and receiver mount to Extron AAP frames
(see “Other accessories” in the appendix).
Preparing the wall box
For wall and furniture mounting installations, the installation
site must be deep enough for both the wall box and the cables.
The box should be at least 2.5" (6.4 cm) deep. Install cables into
the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing a wall box or

UL rack mounting guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines
pertain to the safe installation of the device in a rack.
1.Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
install the unit in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C)
specified by Extron.
2.Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
3.Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack
so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
VTT001 and VTR001 • Installation
4.Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the
supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Rack mounting
Various 1U rack space frames accommodate the VTT001 MAAP,
VTT001 AAP, VTR001 MAAP, and VTR001 AAP modules. The
CPM133 is a one-third rack width frame that can be mounted to
the IN9080 rack mount shelf. The CPM130 is a half rack width
frame; and the CPM112R, shown in figure 2-11, is a full rack
width frame that holds six double sized modules.
Depending on the A/V connector frame used, the transmitters/
receivers may be mounted to the rack with or without the rack
mount shelf.
