Overview

The other unit is fed over the same CAT5 cable. The Power Connect feature applies as long as the CAT5 cable is heavy gauge cable (that is, it can carry power). The distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard cable.

For a distance of 100 meters, separate power supplies must be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously, unless using heavy gauge CAT5 cable.

3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.

It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable will give better results. However, the shield itself does create a capacitance that degrades the frequency response of the machines. For shorter distances, of 50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is preferred because it provides protection from interference (degradation is non apparent).

For a long range application, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred. However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away from electric cables, motors etc., which are prone to create electrical interference.

3.3 About the WP-211DS

Your Kramer WP-211DSWall Plate—available in 4 versions: one for Belgium, one for Germany, one for England (and the rest of Europe), and one for the USA— is a high performance 2x1 automatic switcher for computer graphics and stereo audio signals. The WP-211DSdetects the presence of the active XGA-type input signal from either IN 1 (the default) or IN 2, and automatically routes it to the acceptor connected to the rear panel XGA OUT and the AUDIO OUT connectors. In addition, the WP-211DS:

￿￿With its video bandwidth exceeding 260MHz, ensures transparent operation at the highest resolutions

￿￿Automatically switches the stereo audio signal with the video signal (audio-follow-video) when switching the active input to the output

￿￿Includes a DEFAULT SELECT switch for selecting the computer graphics master (default) source signal

￿￿Includes a looping XGA input

￿￿Comes with contact closure remote control for forced operation

￿￿Includes a CAT5 output (for video) via an 8 PIN terminal block connector

￿￿Is powered by a standard 12 Volt DC feed
