Extron announces the XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable is fully compatible with the MS-TestPro HDBaseT tester by MSolutions, a handheld device allowing installers to verify the signal integrity and stability of HDBaseT installations.

The tester includes quick and efficient signal analysis, built-in monitoring, logging and diagnostic capabilities, and comprehensive troubleshooting tools. Selecting the Extron cable profile compiles and summarises all parameters necessary to certify the link quality and status. Users can generate an HDBaseT report to certify link quality and status, and in turn save the report as a PDF file as part of system commissioning documentation.

“Systems integrators have long lacked reliable, cost-effective test tools built with the AV industry in mind,” MSolutions says. “As we bring our message to more AV integrators worldwide, we are strategically partnering with industry leaders such as Extron that value innovation and interoperability. Using our MS-TestPro device, Extron installers can rest assured that they can test and certify cabling infrastructure with speed and accuracy, and leave job sites with peace of mind that their installed systems will function as advertised.”

XTP DTP 24 cable is performance-optimised, twisted pair cable engineered to exacting Extron standards. It features 24 AWG solid copper conductors within overall braid and foil shields, and utilises an SF/UTP shield foil/unshielded twisted pair design for superior performance in digital video and audio distribution systems. Both non-plenum and plenum-rated versions enable signal extension of AV, control, ethernet and power up to 100m.

The cable is available in lenghts from 90cm to 91.4m, and in bulk spools of 305m. To ensure end-to-end cable infrastructure performance, Extron also offers a line of matching shielded RJ-45 plugs, punch down jacks and couplers.
