Shielded Twisted Pair

Kramer engineers have developed special shielded 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), and the Kramer

BC-DGKat7a23 (CAT 7a 23 AWG) cables. These specially built cables

significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6 /CAT 7a cables.

The VM-1H4C supports a range of up to:

Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at 1080p on shielded

BC-DGKat524 cable

Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded

BC-DGKat623 cable

Up to 100m (330ft) at 1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded

BC-DGKat7a23 cable

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

between the first and last devices being cumulative and limited to 500m.

About the Power Provision Feature

Only the VM-1H4C needs to be connected to a power source when the devices

are within 90m (270ft) of each other

– the VM-1H4C can provide power to the

receiver over the TP cable. This feature applies as long as the cable can carry

power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard TP cable. For longer

distances, heavier gauge cable should be used (standard TP cable is still suitable

for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).
