Overview
3 Overview
The PT-100 XGA Line Extender is a high-performance TP (Twisted Pair) line
extender that transmits a computer graphics signal, an audio signal, unidirectional
RS-232 data and 12V DC power over TP cable. The PT-100 lets you adjust the
line level and equalization. This makes it ideal for connecting between sources and
a router where it can be used to match the level each channel independently (see
Figure 2
The PT-100 has a transmission range of more than 100m (320ft) over UTP cabling
providing a total range of more than 200m (640ft) between the TP transmitter and
receiver.
This section describes:

We
different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best quality
STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP is
intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. For cases where there is
skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be used. Bear in mind,
though, that we advise using STP cables where possible, since the compliance to
electromagnetic interference was tested using those cables.
Although Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long range
applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric cables, motors
and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
However, since the use of UTP cable might cause inconform ity to electromagnetic
standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

The
feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not exceed 50m on
standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used
For units which are connec t ed via RJ-45 connectors, make sure that the shield of
the STP cable is connected to the metal casing of the connectors on both ends of
the cable. For units which are connected via terminal block connectors, the shield

Defining the PT-100 XGA Line Extender
of the STP cable must be connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends
(use the ground terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be
connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
hieve the best performance:
To ac
• Use only good quality connection cables
1
to avoid 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 that may adversely
influence signal quality and position your Kramer transmitters away from
moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Connecting the PT-100 XGA Line Extender
5 Connecting the PT-100 XGA Line Extender
The PT-100 can be used to compensate for varying TP cable lengths by adjusting
the line level and equalization as shown in the following example.
Figure 2: Connecting the PT-100 XGA Line Extender

Connecting the PT-100 XGA Line Extender
To connect the PT-100 as a TP line extender as part of a system with line
equalization and level control, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2
:
1. Connect the video and audio sources (for example, computer graphics source)
to the first TP-121.
2. Connect the first TP-121 transmitter (must have the power supply attached) to
the input of the first PT-100 using TP cabling.
Note: In this example, the cable is 5m (16ft) long and therefore no power
supply to the PT-100 is required (see Section 3.2).
3. Connect the output of the first PT-100 to the VS-169TP Input 1 using TP
cabling.
4. Connect the second TP-121 transmitter to the input of the second PT-100
using TP cabling.
Note: In this example, the cable is 100m (320ft) long and therefore a power
supply to the PT-100 is required (not shown, see Section
3.2).
5. Connect the output of the second PT-100 to the VS-169TP Input 3 using TP
cabling.
6. Connect the VS-169TP Output 1 to the input of the TP-122 receiver using TP
cabling.
7. Connect the output of the TP-122 to the display and to the audio acceptors
(for example, display, stereo audio recorder and AV receiver).
8. Using the Level and Equalization controls on the front of both PT-100
devices, adjust the level and equalization so that the inputs to th e VS-169TP
are matched. Use the front panel switches to switch each input to the local
output of the VS-169TP to assist in matching levels.
5.1 Connecting the PT-100 XGA Line Extender as a Simple Line Extender
The PT
-100 can be connected as a simple TP line extender as shown in Figure 3
.
In this example, the PT-100 is used to extend the distance (to 200m) betwe en the
TP-123 and TP-124 transmitter and receiver pair.
To connect the PT-100 as a simple line extender as illustrated in the example
in Figure 3
:
1. Connect the computer graphics, audio and RS-232 data sources (for example,
computer graphics source) to the input of the TP-123.
Note: The RS-232 data link is unidirectional.
2. Connect the output of the TP-123 to the input of the PT-100 using TP
cabling
3. Connect the output of the PT-100 to the input of the TP-124 using TP
cabling
