The D-TPR2A Active RCA Stereo Audio Output over Dual RJ45 Receiver Module from RDL is a CAT5 to RCA phono receiver module. The The D-TPR2A features a white front-panel laminate with gray lettering that matches RDL Decora-style remote controls. The D-TPR2A module features two RCA phono jack outputs, one for the left channel output and one for the right channel. The audio signals received from pairs B and C of the twisted pair cable are buffered to drive the output jacks at the standard -10 dBV consumer level.
This module receives signal from only two cable pairs, so the D-TPR2A module has a second RJ45 jack to connect cables to additional receiver modules. A separate single-pair receiver may be chained to the second RJ45 jack. In addition to completing the reception of signals from all three FORMAT-A pairs, additional receivers may be connected to the same twisted pair feed. The bridging input circuits used in all FORMAT-A twisted pair receivers allow connection of up to 10 receiver outputs for each cable pair. The possibility of multiple receiver locations adds enormous flexibility in the design of audio routing systems using RDL FORMAT-A products. The power pair and all three audio pairs are fed through both rear-panel RJ45 jacks.
The D-TPR2A may be powered directly from a 24 VDC power supply using the rear-panel detachable terminal block. Local power connected to the module is also fed to all connected remote modules. The D-TPR2A may be remotely powered through the twisted pair cable from any other module, signal distributor or RDL power inserter connected to the same twisted pair cable. Module power is indicated by a front-panel LED. This module is designed to be mounted in wall boxes, cabinets or other enclosures that allow users to connect external equipment. The D-TPR2A unit can be mounted in RDL WB-1U and WB-2U wall boxes, or in standard U.S. electrical boxes.
