3 Overview
The TP-202 is a twisted pair branching receiver for computer graphics
video signals with resolutions from VGA up to UXGA and higher or HDTV
signals. It takes a twisted pair signal and converts it into a computer
graphics video signal or HDTV signal available on two 15-pin HD outputs,
and simultaneously re-transmits the original twisted pair signal to another
compatible receiver.
The TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver/DA:
•Has a transmission range of more than 300ft. (more than 100 meters)
•Can receive HD signals (high-definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i and 1080p)
•Includes two XGA outputs on 15-pin HD connectors
•Includes EQ. and LEVEL controls
•Can change the polarity of decoding H and V Sync for UXGA graphics
•Is 12V DC fed and can power or be powered by the receiver over the
same CAT 5 cable (see section 3.1)
•Features a CAT 5 output for transmitting the signal to an additional
receiver
3.1 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power.
This feature is available when using STP cable and the distance does not
exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge
cable should be used1.For units which are connected via RJ-45 connectors,
make sure that the shield of the STP cable is connected to the metal casing
of the connectors on both ends of the cable. For units which are connected
via terminal block connectors, the shield of the STP cable must be
connected to a ground terminal on the units at both ends (use the ground
terminal of the power supply connection if necessary).
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

3.2 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 is intended for analog signals where skewing is not an issue. 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.
3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
•Use only good quality connection cables1to avoid 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 TP-202
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

5 Connecting the TP-202
You can use the TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver/DA to configure a UXGA
DA system. This will let you transmit a computer graphics signal to two
displays via long line CAT 5 UTP cabling1.
To connect the TP-202, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, do the
following:
1. Connect a transmitter (for example, the Kramer PT-110 XGA Line
Transmitter2) to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector via CAT 5 cabling, see
section 5.1.
2. Set the VS and HS switches on the underside of the unit to NORMAL.
3. Connect the XGA OUT 1 15-pin HD connector to an XGA acceptor (for
example, display 1).
4. Connect the XGA OUT 2 15-pin HD connector to an XGA acceptor (for
example, display 2).
5. Check the image on the display. If it is not stable, set the VS and HS
switches to INVERT to obtain a stable image.
6. If required, connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector on the TP-202 to an
additional3TP-202.
7. If required, adjust4the video output signal level and/or cable compensation
equalization level.
8. If necessary, set the HS and VS switches on the TP-202 underside5.
9. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).
The signal from the UXGA source is transmitted via CAT 5 cable to the
TP-202, decoded and converted at the XGA OUT 1 and XGA OUT 2
15-pin HD connectors to the UXGA acceptors simultaneously.
When chaining several units, we recommend using an STP cable between the transmitter
and the receiver and a skew-free cable for connecting the TP-202 units.
When using the TP-202 as a standalone, we recommend using UTP cables.
1 By using two TP-202 units, you can transmit the signal to an additional TP-202
2 You can also connect an HD transmitter, such as the Kramer TP-219HD
3 Up to six units may be connected with minimal deterioration. The combined length between the first and the last unit may
exceed 300 meters
4 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
5 By default, both switches are set to normal (see Figure 2 and Table 2)
