KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview

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).
CAT 6 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 T2
in a
location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
