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 TP-202 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.

Overview  
The TP-202 is a twisted pair branching receiver for computer graphics video  
signals with resolutions from VGA up to UXGA and higher or HDTV signals. It  
takes a twisted pair signal and converts it into a computer graphics video signal or  
HDTV signal available on two 15-pin HD outputs, and simultaneously re-transmits  
the original twisted pair signal to another compatible receiver.  
The TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver/DA features:  
A transmission range of more than 300ft (more than 100m)  
HD signal reception (high-definition resolutions: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and  
1080p)  
Two UXGA outputs on 15-pin HD connectors  
EQ. and LEVEL controls  
Selectable polarity for decoding H and V Sync for UXGA graphics  
A 12V DC power supply and it can power or be powered by the receiver over  
the same CAT 5 cable  
A CAT 5 output for transmitting the signal to an additional receiver  
3.1  
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, use heavier gauge cable  
(TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the  
power at these distances). For units that 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 that 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.

3.2  
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.  
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.

Connecting the TP-202  
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your  
TP-202. After connecting your TP-202, connect its power and then  
i
switch on the power to each device.  
You can use the TP-202 UXGA Line Transceiver/DA to configure a UXGA DA  
system. This lets you transmit a computer graphics signal to two displays via long  
line CAT 5 UTP cabling.  
By using two TP-202 units, you can transmit the signal to an additional TP-202.  
To connect the TP-202, as the example in Figure 3 illustrates, do the following:  
1. Connect a transmitter (for example, the Kramer PT-110 UXGA Line Transmitter)  
to the LINE IN RJ-45 connector via CAT 5 cabling, see Section 4.1.  
You can also connect an HD transmitter, such as the Kramer TP-219HD.  
2. Set the VS and HS switches on the underside of the unit to NORMAL.  
3. Connect the UXGA OUT 1 15-pin HD connector to an UXGA acceptor (for  
example, display 1).  
4. Connect the UXGA OUT 2 15-pin HD connector to an UXGA acceptor (for  
example, display 2).  
5. Check the image on the display. If it is not stable, set the VS and HS  
switches to INVERT to obtain a stable image.  
6. If required, connect the LINE OUT RJ-45 connector on the TP-202 to an  
additional TP-202.  
Up to six units may be connected with minimal deterioration. The combined length  
between the first and the last unit may exceed 300 meters.  
7. If required, adjust the video output signal level and/or cable compensation  
equalization level.  
Use a screwdriver to carefully rotate the trimmer, adjusting the appropriate level  
8. If necessary, set the HS and VS switches on the TP-202 underside.  
By default, both switches are set to normal (see Figure 2).  
9. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the  
adapter to the mains electricity (not shown in Figure 3).  
The signal from the UXGA source is transmitted via CAT 5 cable to the  
TP-202 - Connecting the TP-202  
7
 
 
TP-202, decoded and converted at the UXGA OUT 1 and UXGA OUT 2  
15-pin HD connectors to the UXGA acceptors simultaneously.  
When chaining several units, we recommend using an STP cable  
between the transmitter and the receiver and a skew-free cable for  
connecting the TP-202 units. When using the TP-202 as a  
standalone, we recommend using UTP cables.
