Kramer's BC-HDKat6a is an HDBaseT certified 4-pair U/FTP (unshielded around foiled twisted pair) cable designed as
the ideal companion to Kramer's HDBaseT transmitter-receiver sets to provide optimum range and performance. It is
constructed of 4 shielded twisted pairs (U/FTP) of 23AWG solid copper conductors that are cabled together in an
unshielded outer jacket, and is optimized for installations
of HDBaseT twisted pair digital transmitter−receiver sets.
Although shielding is not necessary for signals using Kramer’s HDBaseT cable, it is, nonetheless highly recommended
in order to overcome electromagnetic interference to keep the quality of the signal high all along the cable run.
The Kramer high quality BC-HDKat6a HDBaseT cable (CAT 6a) passes uncompressed full HD digital video, audio,
100BaseT Ethernet, Power over Ethernet and various control signals through a single 330ft (100m) twisted pair
category cable. This cable is available in pull boxes of 305m (1000ft).
This cable was tested and accredited in an Alliance Recognized Testing facility, met the requirements set by
HDBaseT Alliance and therefore works perfectly with HDBaseT devices.
Before installing a particular cable, be sure to check that you are using the appropriate cable best suited to your
installation. Take into account the distances involved, as well as the expected performance of the connected devices
(for example, consider the expected resolutions of display devices).
