ADDENDUM: Included with user manuals for machines with a CAT5 connector
This addendum describes the Power Connect feature used with Kramer
machines, and the choice between STP and UTP CAT5 cables.
Power Connect Feature1
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 over the same CAT5 cable.
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the CAT5 cable is heavy gauge
cable (that is, it can carry power). The distance does not exceed 50 meters on
standard cable.
For a distance of 100 meters, separate power supplies must be connected to the
transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously, unless using heavy gauge CAT5
cable.
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 will give better results. 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 non-apparent).
For a long range application, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred.
However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away
from electric cables, motors etc., which are prone to create electrical interference.
1 This section of the addendum is only relevant to machines that support this feature (for example, the TP-104; not the
TP-100)

transmitter / receiver system. The TP-42 receives the CAT5 signal, decodes it
and simultaneously distributes it to the YUV output.
The TP-41 Component – S/PDIF Line Transmitter includes:
A YUV1 input on 3 RCA connectors
A digital audio input (S/PDIF)
A CAT5 output for signal transmission to the TP-42
Individual level controls for the Y, U, and V signals
Audio level control
The TP-42 Component – S/PDIF Line Receiver includes:
A YUV1 output on 3 RCA connectors
A digital audio output (S/PDIF)
A CAT5 input for signal reception from the TP-41
Individual level and EQ. controls for the Y, U, and V signals
Audio level and EQ. controls
Kramer twisted pair adapters are an excellent way to solve remote monitoring
requirements without using more costly coaxial cable or fiber, or wireless
transmission systems.
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your TP-41 and/or TP-42 in
a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
