3.1Using Twisted Pair Cable

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: BC-DGKat524(CAT 5 24 AWG), the Kramer: BC-DGKat623(CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the Kramer: BC-DGKat7a23(CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.

3.2About the Power Connect™ Feature

The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the devices are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used (CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).
