The TX-TPS3A is a three-pair audio sending module compatible with RDL Format-A twisted pair products. Three line-level sources may be connected to the module, each using either the -10 dBV unbalanced RCA phono jack or the +4 dBu balanced detachable terminal block. Studio-quality buffer amplifiers feed the RJ45 OUTPUT at the correct operating level.

The TX-TPS3A feeds all three signal pairs in the twisted pair cable. No other sending modules may be connected on the same cable with this module.

The TX-TPS3A may be powered directly from a 24 Vdc power supply using either the power jack or the detachable terminal block. Local power connected to the module is also fed to all modules connected to the OUTPUT RJ45 jack. The TX-TPS3A 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.

TX SERIES

TX Series modules are application-specific modules for the A/V and related industries. Many TX modules offer galvanic transformer isolation. Module functions include signal detection, switching, amplification, format conversion, line driving, mixing, distribution, twisted-pair sending/receiving and more. Each TX is a compact module engineered to provide higher performance and longer life than other industry products. TX modules are solid encapsulated hybrid circuits in durable industrial black plastic/steel or aluminum enclosures with clear bold white lettering for the jacks, terminal block connections, trimming controls and switches.

TX modules are constructed in two widths and heights. All TXs are the same length, have the same mounting hole configuration, and are compatible with all TX series mounting options. A complete range of mounting options is available for systems utilizing multiple TX modules. A single TX module may be mounted right where its function is needed, and are widely used in system designs with OEM or other RDL products. TX SERIES modules are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
