. You may

also need CAT 5 cable

3 Overview

Our Kramer

Cobra

series products are compatible with CAT 5/5e/6 data

cabling as well as skew free CAT 5/5e cabling manufactured for video

applications. Note that some skew free CAT 5 is specific to a particular

vendor and is not compatible with our products. Ensure any skew free CAT 5

cable is non-proprietary prior to purchase / installation.
We recommend using our Kramer

Cobra

ultra low skew cable—

BC-HDTP

(solid bulk) or

BCP-HDTP

(solid plenum bulk)—available in lengths of 700'

(210m) and 1300' (390m).
CAT6 cable, due to the manufacture method, can exhibit much greater skew

than standard CAT 5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the

standard product offers. Contact Kramer Electronics for assistance.
CAT 5/5e/6 cabling for this product must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B

wiring specification (see appendix A). We also highly recommend that all

CAT 5 cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an

existing infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with

the TIA-EIA T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT 5 cables

can damage this product.
Achieving the best performance means:

Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and positioning your

Cobra R1300A /

R1300S2 / R1300S2M

in a location free from moisture and away from

excessive sunlight and dust

2 In addition, you may also need audio cable with RCA jacks, serial cable with DB9 connectors, and video cable with HD15
connectors
