This user manual describes the following products:  Kramer TOOLS VP-200XLT XGA Line Amp / CAT 5 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 (CAT 5 or similar) to its appropriate receiver, see section 4

 Kramer TOOLS VP-200XLTHD XGA Line Amp / CAT 5

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 (CAT 5 or similar) to its appropriate receiver, see section 5

 Kramer TOOLS VP-300T 1:2 XGA DA/ CAT 5 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 CAT 5 UTP cable to its appropriate receiver, see section 6

 Kramer VP-5T/VP-5THD 1:4 VGA/UXGA Distributor / CAT 5

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 CAT 5 UTP cable to its appropriate receiver, see section 7

 Kramer VP-5R CAT 5 Receiver / 1:5 VGA/UXGA Distributor, which

is a distributor for computer graphics signals, receiving the computer graphics signal via CAT 5 UTP cable, and distributing the signal to 5 identical 15-pin HD 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 applies as long as the cable can carry power. The distance does not exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.

3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

We recommend that you use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. There are different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best quality STP cable that you can afford. Our STP skew-free cable, Kramer BC-SXTP, is intended for transmitting VGA signals. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STP, is intended for digital signals. The compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP cables, therefore we recommend 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 may not conform to electromagnetic standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

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.

Your VP-200XLT XGA Line Amp / CAT 5 Transmitter

4 Your VP-200XLT XGA Line Amp / CAT 5 Transmitter

The VP-200XLT is a high-performance XGA line amp / CAT 5 transmitter that accepts one computer graphics (XGA1) 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 CAT 5 cable to its appropriate receiver.

In particular, the VP-200XLT has:  A transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m) 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

Figure 1 and Table 1 define the VP-200XLT:
