Using Shielded Twisted Pair Cable; About The Power Connect™ Feature - Kramer VM-114H2C User Manual

3.1

Using Shielded Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524 (CAT 5 24 AWG), the
Kramer BC-DGKat623 (CAT 6 23 AWG), and the Kramer BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT
7a 23 AWG) cables. These specially built cables significantly outperform regular
CAT 5/CAT 6 /CAT 7a cables.
3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only the transmitter needs to be
connected to a power source when the devices are within 90m (270ft) of each
other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry power.
The distance does not exceed 90m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances,
heavier gauge cable should be used
!
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
Warning:
Using a TP cable that is incorrectly wired will
cause permanent damage to the device
