Overview

3.1About the Power Connect Feature

The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. This 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 used1. For units which are connected 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 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.

3.2Shielded 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 non-skew-free cable, Kramer BC-STPis 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 inconformity to electromagnetic standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.

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