6.3 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
We recommend that you use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. There are
different levels of STP cable available, and we advise you to use the best
quality STP cable that you can afford. Our non-skew-free cable, Kramer
BC-STP
, which is intended for digital signals and for analog signals where
skewing is not an issue, is recommended for the
VP-23RC
. For cases where
there is skewing, our UTP skew-free cable, Kramer
BC-XTP
, may be used.
Bear in mind, though, that we advise using STP cables where possible, since
the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using those cables.
Although unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long
range applications, the UTP cable should be installed far away from electric
cables, motors and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference. However,
since the use of UTP cable might cause inconformity to electromagnetic standards,
Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.
You can connect to a remote computer graphics acceptor via a receiver (for
example, the
TP-120
), see section 3.2.
Some Kramer twisted pair products include the Power Connect feature. The
VP-23RC
does not have this feature.
