When installing these units however, you may want to choose where to
connect the power supply

along the line
between the transmitter and receiver, can power both units simultaneously.
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 that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer

3.1 Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature lets you power a transmitter / receiver system by
connecting just one power adapter— to either the transmitter or the receiver.
The other unit is fed via the cable connecting between the transmitter/receiver.
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The
distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT5 cable, for longer
distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.
It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable will give better results. However, the shield itself does create a
