Overview 

 

3.2  Defining EDID 

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID

1

3.3  Using Twisted Pair Cable 

 ) is a data-structure 

provided by a display to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is 

connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the 

TP-575

 to 

“know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID 

includes the manufacturer’s name, product type, timing data supported by 

the display, display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the 

pixel mapping data. 

Kramer engineers have developed special 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 cable), and the 

Kramer: 

BC-DGKat7a23

 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built 

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

Note: the 

TP-575

 cannot work with unshielded cables. 

3.4  About the Power Connect™ Feature 

The Power Connect™ feature here means that the 

TP-575

 unit can power 

both the transmitter and receiver when they are within 270 feet (90 meters) 

of the 

TP-575

. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable 

can carry power. The distance does not exceed 90 meters on standard twisted 

pair cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

3.5  Recommendations for Best Performance 

To achieve the best performance: 

 

Connect 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) 

 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position 

your 

TP-575

 

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 

 

                                                       

 

1 Defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) 
2 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
