The Extron 60-1198-01 XTP T USW 103 is a configurable, three-input local switcher module designed for integration within Extron's XTP Systems, a comprehensive platform for routing and distributing high-resolution audio, video, and control signals over CATx cabling. This particular module functions as a localized input selector and transmitter point, allowing a user at a tabletop, lectern, or wall plate to choose between three connected sources (such as a laptop, document camera, and Blu-ray player) and send the selected signal back to a central XTP matrix switcher or directly to an XTP receiver for display. It embodies the XTP philosophy of centralized signal management with decentralized user control, enabling clean, flexible, and scalable system designs for conference rooms, classrooms, and command centers.

The module is engineered for high-performance signal handling, supporting video resolutions up to 4K and incorporating Extron's patented technologies for equalization and compensation to ensure signal integrity over long cable runs. It transmits the selected audio (embedded or analog), video, and associated control signals (like USB for peripheral devices) over a single CATx cable to the core system. The front panel features intuitive source selection buttons with LED status indicators, providing clear feedback to the user. Its design is sleek and professional, intended for flush mounting in furniture or wall boxes, maintaining a clean aesthetic in user-facing environments.

As part of the Extron XTP ecosystem, this switcher is fully programmable and controllable via the system's configuration software, allowing integrators to customize button labels, LED behavior, and system-wide control logic. It simplifies installation by reducing the need for long, dedicated video cable runs from each source location back to the rack; instead, only a single CATx cable is required from the table to the equipment room. This module represents a key component in modern, structured AV systems, providing users with straightforward, reliable source selection while enabling sophisticated, centralized signal management and distribution behind the scenes.
