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 672T, 672R 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.

672T, 672R - Overview
3 Overview
The 672T and 672R are an optical fiber transmitter and receiver for computer
graphics signals up to UXGA and stereo audio signals. The 672T converts the
computer graphics and stereo audio signals to an optical signal, and the 672R
converts the optical signal back to computer graphics and stereo audio signals.
Together, the 672T and 672R form a UXGA/audio transmitter/receiver over
multimode fiber system.
The 672T and 672R pair features:
A transmission range exceeding 1700 meters (more than 1 mile) over
multimode optical cable
4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel) suitable for resolutions up to
UXGA at 60Hz, and for all HD resolutions
Regulation in accordance with Class 3R Laser Eye Safety in compliance with
ANSI Z136 and IEC 60825-1:2007
Full compatibility with the Kramer 670T/670R and 671T/671R HDMI/DVI
transmitters and receivers for non-HDCP content
5V DC power adapters
Housing in Kramer DigiTOOLS®enclosures

4 Connecting the 672T, 672R
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your
672T, 672R. After connecting your 672T, 672R, 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 672T and 672R, do the following:
1. Connect a computer graphics source (for example, a computer graphics card on
a PC) to the UXGA IN 15-pin HD connector.
2. Connect a stereo audio source (for example, a stereo audio player) to the
AUDIO IN 3.5mm mini jack connector.
3. Connect the UXGA OUT 15-pin HD connector to a computer graphics acceptor
(for example, an LCD display).
4. Connect the AUDIO OUT 3.5mm mini jack connector to a stereo audio acceptor
(for example, the speakers of an LCD display).
5. On the 672R, set the SOURCE switch to VGA. (If a Kramer 670T or 671T
transmitter is connected to the 672R, set the SOURCE switch to HDMI).
6. Remove the dust caps and connect the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 672T to
the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 672R, via OM3 cabling (maximum range of
1700 meters (over 1 mile)).
7. 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).
Note: A 672T can be connected to Kramer’s 670R or 671R to convert a VGA input
to an HDMI/DVI output.
