Kramer Electronics PT571HDCP 3.1Using Twisted Pair Cable, 3.2About the Power Connect Feature

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).
