Using Twisted Pair Cable
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.

About the Power
Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the
transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the
devices are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature
applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed
90m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be
used (CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for
feeding the power at these distances)
