About HDBaseT™ Technology
HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the
HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the consumer home environment
as a digital home networking alternative where it enables you to replace numerous
cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example,
uncompressed full high-definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control
signals.
The products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

Using Twisted Pair Cable
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our
digital twisted pair products; the Kramer
BC−HDKat6a
(CAT 6 23 AWG cable)
significantly outperforms regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 cables.
We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.
