Overview

3 Overview
The Kramer F-110 dual-slot wall-plate insert is an XGA line transmitter
that accepts up to a UXGA video signal, encodes it to a twisted pair (TP)
signal, and transmits the TP signal to a compatible TP receiver1.
In particular, the F-110:
•Has a resolution of up to UXGA
•Includes the Kramer Power Connect™ feature
•Has a 12V DC power supply
•Fits into various insert mounting surfaces2
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 used3.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.
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
1 For example, the Kramer TP-120 or PT-120
2 For example, TBUS units, wall plate frames or Ackermann insert mounting frames (see section 6 )
3 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

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 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve 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 F-110
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

5 Connecting the F-110
The Kramer F-110 together with the Kramer PT-120 or TP-120 XGA line
receivers constitute a VGA/XGA-to-twisted pair transmitter and receiver.
To connect the F-110, do the following:
1. Unscrew the two screws that fasten each of the two adjacent blank
plates to the connecting surface and remove them.
2. Place and align the F-110 dual-slot wall-plate insert over the opening.
3. Connect the cables to the rear side of the insert, that is, attach the:
Terminal block line output of the F-110 to the pre-installed UTP
wiring that connects to the TP receiver (with a range of more than
300ft (>100m)), see section 5.1
12V DC power supply to either one of the power terminal blocks
(connect the wire labeled “+” to the +12V pin, and the wire labeled
“–” to the GND pin) taking care that the polarity is correct. You can
use the second power terminal block to power an additional unit (for
example, an adjacent insert on the mounting surface)
4. Insert the four screws to fix the insert in place, and tighten them.
5. Connect the UXGA source to the PC IN connector (for example, a
computer graphics source).

5.1 Wiring the 9-pin Terminal Block Line Output Connector
The 8-pin terminal block is an easy plug-in connector for attaching the UTP
cable. Follow the colors of the color-coded sticker on these terminals for
proper connection of the UTP cable. Figure 3 defines the pinouts for the
terminal block.
Figure 3: Terminal Block Pinouts
Notes:
•Use the connector clips only when removing wires, not when inserting
them
•Each wire should protrude 9mm (0.35") from the plastic insulation so
that it can be easily connected. To prevent the wires crossing, be sure
that each wire is fully inserted
