DVI over Twisted Pair Receiver Over 1 STP Cable

The PT-572HDCP+ is a compact DGKat twisted-pair receiver for DVI signal distribution over one STP cable. In the specified signal chain, the PT-571HDCP transmitter converts DVI to a twisted-pair signal, and the PT-572HDCP+ converts that signal back to DVI at the receiving end. The model is identified as an HDCP 2.2, PoC long-reach DGKat receiver with a stated bandwidth of 4.95Gbps and refresh rate of 60Hz.

Ideal Use Cases

This receiver is intended for installations where a DVI signal must be transported through a twisted-pair link rather than connected only through a conventional point-to-point DVI cable. It is suited to signal paths built around the PT-571HDCP transmitter and PT-572HDCP+ receiver combination. The one-STP-cable connection is particularly relevant when the transmitter and receiving equipment are positioned apart and the installation is designed around DGKat signal transport.

The standard PT-572HDCP+ should not be confused with the separately identified PT-572HDCP+-MD. According to the supplied product information, the MD version is the model certified for medical applications.

Why Choose This Model

The PT-572HDCP+ has a clearly defined role within the DVI signal chain: it receives the DGKat twisted-pair signal and converts it back to DVI. This dedicated receiver design eliminates ambiguity about which device belongs at the destination end of a PT-571HDCP-based link. Its compact designation also makes it a focused alternative for systems that require a receiver without unrelated projection, wireless, audio, or display features.

HDCP 2.2 support, a stated 4.95Gbps bandwidth, and a 60Hz refresh rate provide concrete reference points when evaluating the receiver against the requirements of the connected DVI equipment.

Installation and Integration

Integration begins with a PT-571HDCP transmitter at the source side. That unit converts the original DVI signal for twisted-pair transport. One STP cable carries the resulting signal to the PT-572HDCP+, which restores it to DVI for connection at the receiving side. This transmitter-to-receiver workflow should be considered when planning the complete system, since this listing identifies the PT-572HDCP+ as the receiver rather than the transmitting unit.

The supplied data also lists BC-UNIKAT CAT6A U/FTP bulk cable in 100, 305, and 500m package lengths, as well as C-UNIKAT CAT6A U/FTP cable assemblies from 0.6 to 100m. Both cable listings are described as low smoke and halogen free. A C-DM/DM DVI Dual Link copper cable is also listed with DVI-D male connectors, available in lengths from 0.9 to 19.5m and identified as supporting Dual Link. These are cable product lengths provided in the source data and should not be interpreted as a stated maximum transmission distance for the receiver.

Performance Highlights

The PT-572HDCP+ is specified with 4.95Gbps bandwidth and a 60Hz refresh rate. Its product designation includes HDCP 2.2, while its core function is DVI reception through the DGKat twisted-pair architecture. The system performs two complementary conversions: the PT-571HDCP changes DVI into the twisted-pair signal, and the PT-572HDCP+ changes that transported signal back into DVI.

This defined conversion path allows system designers to evaluate the complete link as a paired transmitter-and-receiver arrangement rather than treating the receiver as a standalone DVI cable adapter.

What Makes It Different

The distinguishing feature of the PT-572HDCP+ is its combination of DVI reception, DGKat twisted-pair transport, and a single-STP-cable link in a compact receiver model. It is specifically associated with the PT-571HDCP transmitter, giving the two products complementary positions in the signal path. The title also identifies the receiver as a PoC long-reach model, while the supplied performance data establishes its 4.95Gbps bandwidth and 60Hz refresh rate.

The medical distinction is model-specific: certification for medical applications is stated only for the PT-572HDCP+-MD variant. Buyers requiring that certification should therefore verify the exact variant rather than assuming it applies to the standard PT-572HDCP+.

Final Assessment

The PT-572HDCP+ is a purpose-built DVI over twisted-pair receiver for a DGKat link using one STP cable. It is best evaluated as the receiving half of a system paired with the PT-571HDCP transmitter. Its documented HDCP 2.2 designation, 4.95Gbps bandwidth, 60Hz refresh rate, compact format, and defined conversion role make its capabilities and place in the signal chain straightforward to assess.
