2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer 671T, 671R away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

4 Connecting the 671T, 671R
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
671T, 671R. After connecting your 671T, 671R, connect its power and
then switch on the power to each device.
Avoid direct eye exposure into the optic connectors when powered,
although this product is regulated strictly enough to operate under the
Laser Class 3R for eye safety
To connect the 671T and 671R, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3, do the
following:
1. Connect a DVI source (for example a DVD player) to the DVI IN connector.
2. Connect the DVI OUT connector to a DVI acceptor (for example, an LCD
display).
3. Remove the dust caps and connect the OPTIC CABLE connector of the
671Tto the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 671R, via optic OM3 cabling
with SC connectors (maximum range of 2000 meters (over 6560ft)).
4. Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket on each unit and
connect the adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).
