3 Overview
This user manual describes the following Kramer TOOLS:
•TP-104/TP-104HD XGA Line Transmitter/DA is a line
transmitter/1:4 DA that receives an XGA signal and transmits it
over four CAT 5 cables to appropriate receivers (see section 4)
•TP-105/TP-105(HD) CAT 5 Line Driver/DA receives a CAT 5
input15and distributes it to two identical outputs (see section )
•TP-121 XGA/Audio Line Transmitter and the TP-122 XGA/Audio
Line Receiver (see section 6)
•TP-123 XGA/Audio/Data Line Transmitter and the TP-124
XGA/Audio/Data Line Receiver (see section 7)
This section describes:
•Using shielded twisted pair (STP)/unshielded twisted pair (UTP),
see section 3.1
•The power connect feature, see section 3.2
•Recommendations for achieving the best performance, see section
3.3
3.1 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
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.

3.2 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 used1
For a CAT 5 cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
.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).
3.3 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables2
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
product away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

4 Your TP-104/TP-104HD XGA Line Transmitter/DA
The TP-104/TP-104HD1is a line transmitter/1:4 DA that receives an XGA
signal2
In particular, the TP-104/TP-104HD:
and transmits it over four CAT 5 cables to appropriate receivers.
•Has a transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)
•Can power or be powered by the receiver over the same CAT 5
cable and is 12V DC fed
Figure 1 defines the TP-104 and Figure 2 defines the TP-104HD:
Figure 1: TP-104 XGA Line Transmitter/DA
Figure 2: TP-104HD XGA Line Transmitter/DA
1 The TP-104HD is similar to the TP-104 but can also receive HD signals (high definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i and 1080p)
2 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on a 15-pin HD (F)
connector having a resolution from VGA up to XGA
