3.1 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature lets you power a transmitter / receiver system by
connecting just one power adapter— to either the transmitter or the receiver.
The other unit is fed via the cable connecting between the transmitter/receiver.
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.
1 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
