This section describes:

Using shielded twisted pair (STP) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see

3.1 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature lets you power a transmitter / receiver system by
connecting just one power adapter— to either the transmitter or the receiver.
The other unit is fed via the cable connecting between the transmitter/receiver.
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The
distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT5 cable, for longer
distances, heavy gauge cable should be used1.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.
It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable is used. However, the shield itself does create a capacitance
that degrades the frequency response of the machines. For shorter distances, of
50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is preferred because it provides
protection from interference (degradation is not apparent).
For long range applications, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred.
However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away from
electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
1 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

3.3 About the TP-219HD / TP-220HD
The Kramer TOOLS TP-219HD can receive two computer graphics/HD1
signals of which one is selected via an INPUT SELECTOR button. The
selected input is transmitted via CAT5 cabling to the TP-220HD which
distributes it to two outputs simultaneously.
The TP-219HD XGA / HD Line Transmitter / Switcher:
Has a transmission range of more than 300 ft. (more than 100 meters)
Includes two XGA2/YUV3 inputs on HD15F connectors
Features an INPUT SELECTOR button to select between INPUT 1 and
INPUT 2
Can change the polarity of encoding H and V Sync for XGA graphics
Can power or be powered by the receiver over the same CAT5 cable (see
section 3.1)
Is 12VDC fed
The TP-220HD XGA / HD Line Receiver / DA:
Has two XGA/YUV3 outputs on HD15F connectors
Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for XGA graphics
Includes EQ. and LEVEL controls
Can power or be powered by the transmitter over the same CAT5 cable
(see section 3.1)
Is 12VDC fed
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noiselevels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
TP-219HD/TP-220HD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
1 The TP-219HD and TP-220HD accept high definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
2 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an HD15 connector
having a resolution from VGA up to UXGA
3 Also known as Y, Cb, Cr, or Y, B-Y, R-Y, or Y, Pb, Pr
