XTP T USW 103 • Setup Guide
The XTP T USW 103 is a three-input switcher
for sending HDMI or RGBHV video, audio,
control, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 m)
over a single CATx cable. This guide provides
instructions for an experienced installer to
install and connect the Extron XTP T USW 103
Universal Switcher.

Installation
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the switcher as required (see the XTP T USW 103 User Guide on the Extron website,
www.extron.com, for mounting considerations).
Step 2 — Connecting Inputs
a. Connect an unbalanced analog audio input source to the 3.5 mm TRS jack (see b above). All three video inputs can share this audio input.
HDMI embedded audio is normally given priority.
b. Connect an analog RGB video source to the female 15-pin HD VGA connector, labeled input 1 (see c above).
c. Connect a digital video source to the female HDMI connectors, labeled inputs 2 and 3 (see d above). They can accept HDMI, DVI (with an
appropriate adapter), or DisplayPort video signals.
NOTES:
• Use an Extron LockIt
®
Lacing Bracket to secure HDMI cables to the connectors (see the XTP T USW 103 User Guide for insturctions).
• Video input from a DisplayPort source must be a dual mode DisplayPort source.
Step 3 — Connecting Throughput Devices
a. Connect a twisted pair cable between the XTP connector (see e above) of the XTP T USW 103 to an XTP receiver.
ATTENTION: Do not connect this connector to a computer data or telecommunications
network.
The XTP T USW 103 is compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair
(F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable. Extron recommends using
the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 m) and reduce
transmission errors.
z Use Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cable for the best performance. If not using XTP DTP 24
cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 23 AWG, solid conductor, STP cable with a minimum
bandwidth of 400 MHz.
z Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.
z Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points, punch
down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use
CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
• Do not exceed 40% ll capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the rst 20 m, where cables are straightened, aligned, and secured in tight bundles.
• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook and loop fastener.
• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.
Signal LED — Lights when the device is transmitting a video signal or a test pattern.
Link LED — Lights when a valid link between an XTP input and output is established.
