We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer TBUS-10xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust

use.
5.6 Inserting Pass-through Cables
When replacing inserts with the pass-through insert, for example, to connect a
laptop, do the following:
1. Remove the two screws attaching the split pass-through bracket.
2. Remove the split grommet.
3. Insert the cable through the rectangular opening.
4. Open the split grommet slightly and insert the required cables.
5. Place the split bracket around the grommet and position this assembly over
the Inner Frame.
6. Place the two screws appropriately and tighten the split bracket together
with the grommet and inserted cables to the inner frame.
7. Insert the self-locking ties through the tie holes to secure the cables to the
inside walls of the enclosure.
