Extron XTP DTP Shielded Twisted Pair Cable (47 products)

Extron XTP DTP Shielded Twisted Pair Cable

Extron XTP DTP cable is the shielded twisted pair specified for XTP and DTP systems, precision terminated to hold 4K performance at full distance. Creation Networks stocks the current XTP DTP cable catalog for U.S. integrators. For SKU selection and pricing, contact us through creationnetworks.net.

Product Families

  • XTP DTP 24 Precision-Terminated Cables — non-plenum shielded twisted pair in standard lengths.
  • XTP DTP 22P Plenum Cables — plenum-rated precision-terminated assemblies for air handling spaces.
  • Bulk Spools — 1000 foot plenum and non-plenum spools for field termination.
  • Punch-Down Jacks — CAT 6A AAP and MAAP jack modules for XTP DTP terminations.
  • Couplers and Barrels — inline connectivity for wallplates and rack panels.
  • Plenum and Non-Plenum Ratings — options to match local code requirements.

Why Specify Extron XTP DTP Cable

  • Precision terminated at the factory for consistent 4K performance at rated distance
  • Shielded construction reduces interference on long runs near power and lighting
  • Tested against Extron XTP and DTP system specifications
  • Plenum-rated options available across the range
  • United States federal and state contract availability

Typical Applications

  • DTP3 transmitter and receiver links in classrooms and conference rooms
  • DTP CrossPoint and XTP matrix system infrastructure
  • Long horizontal runs through plenum ceiling spaces
  • Rack to wallplate connections through AAP and MAAP jack modules
  • Campus and multi-floor AV infrastructure builds

How XTP DTP Cable Compares to Generic CATx

Aspect Extron XTP DTP Cable Generic CATx Cable
Termination Factory precision terminated Field terminated, quality varies
4K at full distance Tested to Extron system specifications Not guaranteed
Shielding Shielded twisted pair throughout Often unshielded
Federal availability On GSA schedules Varies

The Cable Is Part of the System

Twisted pair AV extension is only as good as the cable between the endpoints, and this is where a lot of otherwise well-designed rooms fall over. Extron XTP DTP cable is shielded twisted pair built and tested specifically for XTP and DTP systems. The precision-terminated assemblies remove field termination as a variable, which is why they are the safest choice when a DTP3 link has to hold 4K/60 4:4:4 at 330 feet. XTP DTP 24 covers standard runs, and XTP DTP 22P is the plenum-rated version for cable paths through air handling spaces.

For larger builds, 1000 foot spools let crews pull and terminate on site, and CAT 6A punch-down jack modules in AAP and MAAP formats bring XTP DTP terminations onto wallplates, table boxes, and rack panels. Creation Networks stocks terminated assemblies, spools, jacks, and couplers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Extron XTP DTP Cable

Q: Can I use ordinary CAT 6 instead?
A: It may work at short distances, but Extron rates DTP3 and XTP performance using shielded twisted pair. For 4K at or near full distance, use XTP DTP cable so the link is not the weak point.

Q: What is the difference between XTP DTP 24 and 22P?
A: XTP DTP 24 is the standard non-plenum cable. XTP DTP 22P is plenum rated for runs through air handling spaces where local code requires it.

Q: Should I buy terminated cables or spools?
A: Terminated assemblies are the lower risk option because the ends are factory tested. Use 1000 foot spools when run lengths are unknown until installation or when pulling through conduit makes a terminated end impractical.

Q: How do I terminate XTP DTP at a wallplate?
A: Use the CAT 6A punch-down jack modules in AAP or MAAP format, which drop into Extron wallplates, Cable Cubby enclosures, and rack panels.

Q: Does the same cable work for XTP and DTP3?
A: Yes. XTP DTP cable is the specified shielded twisted pair for both the XTP and DTP families, which keeps one cable part number across a mixed estate.
