3.1 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 CAT5 cable, for longer
distances, heavy gauge cable should be used
1
.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.2 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
The decision whether to use shielded twisted pair (STP) cable or unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable depends on the nature of the application.
It is recommended that in applications with high interference, shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable is used. However, the shield itself does create a capacitance
that degrades the frequency response of the machines. For shorter distances,
of 50m or so, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is preferred because it
provides protection from interference (degradation is not apparent).
For a long range applications, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is
preferred. However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be
installed far away from electric cables, motors and so on, which are prone to
create electrical interference.
1 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

3.3 TA-110HD XGA Line Transmitter
The TA-110HD is a modular unit that can be mounted inside the Power
Tower, by sliding the unit onto the rails on the connection panel
1
.
Using a XGA Line Transmitter—the TA-110HD with a receiver (for
example, the PT-120 or TP-120) constitutes a VGA/XGA-to-Twisted Pair
Transmitter and Receiver.
The Kramer TA-110HD 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 TA-110HD:
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
2
Is 12VDC fed
3.4 Achieving the Best Performance
Achieving the best performance means:
Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your 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
3
.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 The TA-110HD is also available for use with the Kramer TBUS-2
2 Powering via the CAT5 cable from either the receiver or the transmitter is good for 50 meters. Above it, both sides should
be fed with power
3 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251

5 Mounting the TA-110HD
To mount the TA-110HD in the Power Tower, do the following:
1. Remove the three base screws from the underside of the Power Tower,
and open the base cover (saving the screws).
2. Slide out the blank panel and any modules/panels.
3. Connect the TA-110HD (see section 6) and then slide the TA-110HD
into place.
4. Replace the other modules/panels and the blank panel.
5. Replace the base cover and fasten the three base screws back in place.
6 Using the XGA Line Transmitter(s) / Receiver
You can use the TA-110HD XGA Line Transmitter and the TP-120 XGA Line
Receiver to configure an XGA-to-Twisted Pair Transmitter and Receiver system.
To connect the TA-110HD XGA Line Transmitter with the TP-120 XGA Line
Receiver, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the following:
1. On the TA-110HD, connect the XGA source (for example, the HD-15
output from a computer’s graphics card) to the XGA IN HD15F
connector.
2. On the TP-120, connect the XGA OUT HD15F connector to the XGA
acceptor (for example, a monitor).
3. Connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector on the TA-110HD to the LINE
IN RJ-45 connector on the TP-120, via UTP cabling (transmission can
exceed 300ft (>100m)).
4. On both
1
the TA-110HD 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 HD15F connector to the XGA
acceptor.
5. On the TP-120, adjust
2
the output signal level and/or cable compensation
equalization level, if required.
6. If necessary, set the HS and VS switches
3
, on the units.
1 For distances of up to 50 meters you can connect a power adapter to either the TA-110HD or TP-120. Above it, both sides
should be fed with power
2 Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level
3 By default, both switches are set for normal H SYNC and V SYNC polarity
