Kramer VM-114H [8/22] Using twisted pair cable

VM-114H - Overview

You can daisy-chain up to six devices with the maximum overall distance between

the first and last devices being cumulative and limited by the cable type used.

3.1 Using 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.

3.2 About 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 60m (197ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature

applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed

60m on standard TP cable. (Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the

Power Connect™ range).

Warning: Using an incorrectly wired TP cable will cause permanent

damage to the device!
