Kramer F-110 [4/14] Overview

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer F-110 dual-slot wall-plate insert is an XGA line transmitter

that accepts up to a UXGA video signal, encodes it to a twisted pair (TP)

signal, and transmits the TP signal to a compatible TP receiver

In particular, the F-110:

• Has a resolution of up to UXGA

• Includes the Kramer Power Connect™ feature

• Has a 12V DC power supply

• Fits into various insert mounting surfaces

3.1 About the Power Connect Feature

The

Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power.

This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not

exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge

cable should be used

. For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors,

make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing

of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected

via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be

connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground

terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).

For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies

should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.

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

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 is intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. 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

)

3 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
