WP-110xl - 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
Go to
http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
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 (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution 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-110xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions
Caution:
There are 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
2.3 Shielded Twisted Pair/Unshielded Twisted Pair
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.
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.
2.4 Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by
requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,
Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced
Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and
recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN
facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country
go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

WP-110xl - Overview
3 Overview
The WP-110xl is a high-performance, twisted pair (TP) transmitter for computer
graphics signals over extended distances using CAT 5/6 cable.
The WP-110xl comes in three models: WP-110xl 69mm US version, WP-110xl
80/86mm European versions.
More specifically, the WP-110xl features:
Resolution up to WUXGA, 1080p
HDTV compatibility up to 1080p
Extended transmission range of up to 250m (820ft)
EDID Capture copies and stores the EDID from a display device
Increased level of protection against noise, spikes and interference in
adverse environments
3.1 About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the
transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the
devices are within 60m (197ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature
applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed
60m on standard TP cable. (Heavier gauge cable may be used to extend the
Power Connect™ range).
