Kramer TOOLS VP-200XLT
XGA Line Amp / CAT5 Transmitter, which
accepts one computer graphics input and distributes the signal to its
high-density 15 pin “D” connector output, as well as transmitting it over
UTP cabling (CAT5 or similar) to its appropriate receiver, see section 4
Kramer TOOLS VP-200XLTHD
XGA Line Amp / CAT5 Transmitter,
which accepts one computer graphics input and distributes the signal to its
high-density 15 pin “D” connector output, as well as transmitting it over
UTP cabling (CAT5 or similar) to its appropriate receiver, see section
5
Kramer TOOLS VP-300T 1:2 XGA DA/ CAT5 Transmitter, which is a
distributor for computer graphics signals, accepting one input and
distributing the signal to its identical 2 outputs, as well as transmitting it
over CAT5 UTP cable to its appropriate receiver, see section 6
Kramer VP-5T/VP-5T(HD)
1:4 VGA/UXGA Distributor / CAT5
Transmitter, which is a distributor for computer graphics signals, accepting
one input, and distributing the signal to its identical 4 outputs, as well as
transmitting it over CAT5 UTP cable to its appropriate receiver, see section 7
Kramer VP-5R
CAT5 Receiver / 1:5 VGA/UXGA Distributor, which is a
distributor for computer graphics signals, receiving the computer graphics
signal via CAT5 UTP cable, and distributing the signal to 5 identical
HD15 outputs, see section 8
This section describes:
The power connect feature, see section 3.1
Using shielded twisted pair (STP) / unshielded twisted pair (UTP), see
section 3.2
Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section 3.3
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 used
1
.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
1 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

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.
3.3 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 noise- levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
Kramer machines away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit1.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
4 Your VP-200XLT XGA Line Amp / CAT5 Transmitter
The VP-200XLT is a high performance XGA line amp / CAT5 transmitter
that accepts one computer graphics (XGA2) input, provides necessary
buffering and isolation, and distributes the signal to its high-density 15 pin
“ D” connector output, as well as transmitting it over UTP CAT5 cable to its
appropriate receiver.
1 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251
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 XGA

In particular, the VP-200XLT has:
A transmission range of more than 300 ft. (more than 100 meters) over
UTP cabling
Video bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensuring transparency even when
operating at the highest resolutions
Output level control, and cable equalization, using two rotary controls on
the side panel of the machine
