6.3 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 non-skew-free cable, Kramer

BC-STP, which is intended for digital signals and for analog signals where

skewing is not an issue, is recommended for the VP-23RC. 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.

You can connect to a remote computer graphics acceptor via a receiver (for

example, the TP-120), see section 3.2.

Some Kramer twisted pair products include the Power Connect feature. The

VP-23RC does not have this feature.
