Your Kramer TOOLS TP-1141:4 XGA/HD DA/CAT 5 Transmitter is a high-performance distribution amplifier for computer graphics video or HDTV signals. It converts a computer graphics video or HDTV signal on a 15-pin HD connector to four identical twisted pair signals.

The TP-114:

•Receives a computer graphics1/HD2 signal and transmits it over four CAT 5 cables to appropriate receivers3

•Has a resolution of up to UXGA, and a transmission range of more than 300 feet (more than 100 meters)

•Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for video

•Includes the Power Connect™ feature

•Is powered by 12V DC

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 used4. 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
