3.2 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 a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
.
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).
3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables
•
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
product away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
