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)

Overview
3 Overview
The TP-100 XGA Line Transmitter and TP-200 XGA Line Receiver constitute
an extendable branching set of VGA/XGA-to-Twisted Pair Transmitter and
Receiver. The input looping capability of the TP-100 and the transceiving
ability of the TP-200 create a multimode XGA/CAT5 distribution system.
The TP-100 XGA Line Transmitter includes:
• A looping XGA input (with termination switch)
• ID Bit control
• 2 CAT5 outputs for simultaneous signal transmission to 2 locations
• Individual cable EQ. control for each CAT5 output
The TP-200 XGA Line Receiver:
• Receives the CAT5 signal, decodes it and simultaneously distributes it to
3 XGA outputs and relays the input to the next receiver (transceiver operation)
• Includes an EQ. control for the decoded XGA signal and an EQ. control
for the signal re-transmitted to the next receiver
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-100 and/or TP-200
in a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
