3.1 PT-110 XGA Line Transmitter
Using an XGA Line Transmitter—the PT-110 or WP-110—with the
PT-120 or TP-120 constitutes a VGA/XGA-to-Twisted Pair Transmitter
and Receiver.
The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-110 is an XGA line transmitter that receives
an XGA signal and transmits it over a CAT 5 cable to the PT-120 or
TP-120 receiver. In particular, the PT-110:
Has a resolution of up to UXGA
Can use the simplest UTP CAT 5 cables, and performs even better
with higher quality cables
Has the Power Connect feature
Is 12V DC fed
3.2 WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter
The Kramer Wall Plate WP-110 is an XGA line transmitter—available in
three versions: one for the USA, one for Belgium and Germany, and one for
the UK and most of Europe
1
—that receives an XGA signal and transmits it
over a CAT 5 cable to the PT-120 or TP-120 receiver. In particular, the
WP-110:
Has a resolution of up to UXGA
Can use the simplest UTP CAT 5 cables, however, it benefits
from better quality cables
Has the power connect feature
Is powered via a standard 12V DC feed

3.3 PT-120 XGA Line Receiver
The Kramer Pico TOOLS PT-120 is an XGA line receiver that receives a
coded CAT 5 signal transmitted by either the WP-110 or the PT-110,
decodes it and converts it to an XGA output. In particular, the PT-120:
Has an operating range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)
using standard CAT 5 cable and the WP-110 or the PT-110
Includes EQ. and level controls
Has the power connect feature
1
Is 12V DC fed
3.4 TP-120 XGA Line Receiver
The Kramer TOOLS TP-120 is an XGA line receiver that receives a coded
CAT 5 signal transmitted by either the WP-110 or the PT-110, decodes it
and converts it to an XGA output. In particular, the TP-120:
Has an operating range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)
using standard CAT 5 cable and the WP-110 or the PT-110
Includes EQ. and level controls
Has the power connect feature
Is 12V DC fed
3.5 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable can carry power. The
distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT 5 cable, for longer
distances, heavy gauge cable should be used
2
.
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
1 Powering via the CAT 5 cable from either the receiver or the transmitter is good for 60 meters. Above it, both sides should
be fed with power
2 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding power at these distances

3.6 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 STP skew-free cable, Kramer
BC-SXTP, is intended for transmitting VGA signals. Our non-skew-free
cable, Kramer BC-STP, is intended for digital signals.
The compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using STP
cables, therefore we recommend 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.
3.7 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables
1
to 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
XGA Line Transmitter(s) / Receiver away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit
2
.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

5 Using the XGA Line Transmitter(s) / Receiver
You can use the PT-110
1
XGA Line Transmitter and the TP-120 XGA Line
Receiver to configure an XGA-to-Twisted Pair Transmitter and Receiver
system.
To connect the PT-110 XGA Line Transmitter with the TP-120 XGA Line
Receiver, as the example in Figure 6 illustrates, do the following:
1. On the PT-110, connect the XGA source (for example, the 15-pin HD
output from a computer’s graphics card) to the XGA INPUT 15-pin HD (F)
connector.
2. On the TP-120, connect the XGA OUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to the
XGA acceptor (for example, a monitor).
3. Connect the LINE OUTPUT RJ-45 connector on the PT-110 to the LINE
IN RJ-45 connector on the TP-120, via UTP cabling (with a range of more
than 300ft (>100m)).
4. On both
2
the PT-110 and the TP-120, connect the 12V DC power adapter
to the power socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
The signal from the XGA source is transmitted via CAT 5 cable, decoded
and converted at the XGA OUT 15-pin HD (F) connector to the XGA
acceptor.
5. On the TP-120, adjust
3
the output signal level and/or cable compensation
equalization level, if required.
6. If necessary, set the H SYNC and V SYNC switches
4
, on the undersides of
the units.
1 You can use the WP-110 (not shown in Figure 6) instead of the PT-110. For details, see section 5.1
2 For distances of up to 100 meters you can connect a power adapter to either the PT-110 or TP-120. Above it, both sides
should be fed with power
3 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
4 By default, both switches are set for normal H SYNC and V SYNC polarity

5.1 Installing the WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter
To install your WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter:
1. Connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector to the pre-installed UTP wiring
in the wall box opening that connects via UTP cabling to the LINE IN
RJ-45 connector of the PT-120 or TP-120.
2. Connect your 12V DC power supply to the POWER SUPPLY pins
1
, taking
care that polarity is correct.
3. Insert the WP-110 directly into the wall box opening, and then mount the
front panel securely using the screws.
4. Connect the XGA source to the XGA IN 15-pin HD (F) connector.
