2 WP-110, PT-120, TP-120 - Getting Started
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
•Review the contents of this user manual
•Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date
user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference, deterioration
in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
•Position your Kramer WP-110, PT-120 or TP-120 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall
adapter that is provided with the unit
Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing

3.1 WP-110 XGA Line Transmitter
The Kramer Wall Plate WP-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. The
WP-110 is available in three versions: one for USA, one for Belgium and Germany,
and one for UK and most of Europe (excluding Belgium and Germany). 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 and is 12V DC fed
3.2 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 the WP-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
•Includes EQ. and level controls
•Has the power connect feature and is 12V DC fed

3.3 TP-120 XGA Line Receiver
The Kramer TOOLS TP-120 is an XGA line receiver that receives a coded CAT 5
signal transmitted by the WP-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
•Includes EQ. and level controls
•Has the power connect feature and is 12V DC fed
3.4 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
(164ft) on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should
be used (TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for
feeding the power at these distances). 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 TP cable exceeding a distance of 50m, separate power supplies should be
connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.5 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) / Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP)
We recommend that you use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, and stress that
the compliance to electromagnetic interference was tested using 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.

WP-110, PT-120, TP-120 - Overview 5
In cases where there is skewing, our Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) skew-free
cable, Kramer BC-XTP, may be advantageous, and UTP cable might also be
preferable for long range applications. In any event when using UTP cable, it is
advisable to ensure that the cable is installed far away from electric cables, motors
and so on, which are prone to create electrical interference.
