•Plenum and Non-Plenum rated versions available
— Depending on the model,
Extron Comm-Link cable is available with a plenum or non plenum-rated SuperFlex
jacket. Plenum-rated cable is for use in open air spaces without conduit, thereby reducing
installation cost, where National Electric Code CM or CMP cable must be installed.
•SuperFlex jacket with sequential numbering
— Comm-Link cable features the
smooth SuperFlex jacket with sequential numbering that enables quick calculation of
the cable used and remaining on the spool.
•Spools of 500 feet (150 m) & 1,000 feet (300 m)
DesCRiPtion
The Extron CTL Series Comm-Link Control Systems Cable is ideal for connecting control
system components. The CTL and CTLP models are perfectly suited for carrying control
communications due to the low capacitance rating on the data pair wires, while the additional
conductors transmit power and communications. The CTL24LC-2P cable is ideal for RS-232,
RS-422 or RS-485 serial control applications. This twisted pair cable provides the fast signal
rise times required by today's control systems, resulting in reliable communications and
executed commands, with the overall shield isolating interference and emission.

NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without notice.
All three CTL Series cables are suitable for interconnecting Extron MediaLink™Controllers to
MLS switchers, SCP Control Panels to System 5 IP and System 7SC switchers, as well as linking
other control system manufacturer's components to controllers and control panels. Depending
upon the model, the CTL Series cable is available in both NEC CMP plenum and NEC CM
non-plenum rated versions.
The CTL and CTLP cables feature two color-coded 18 AWG, double-shielded conductors, two
22 AWG low capacitance shielded twisted pair cables, and a drain wire providing excellent
performance and reduced interference. The CTLP cable features a plenum-rated jacket.
The CTL24LC-2P Low Capacitance Serial Control Dual Cable is a high performance solution
for transmission and distribution of serial control signals, such as RS-232 with handshake,
RS-422, and RS-485, in a variety of education, commercial, broadcast, and government serial
control A/V applications.
The CTL24LC-2P cable features four color-coded or two twisted pair 24 AWG tinned copper
insulated conductors within an overall outer aluminum polyester foil shield and a tinned
copper drain wire wrapped in a single jacket. The lead-free CTL24LC-2P cable is NEC CMP
plenum rated.
