About the Power Connect™ Feature 

The 

PT-561/PT-562

 and 

WP-561/WP-562

 have the Power Connect™ 

feature where the transmitter delivers power and the HDMI signal to the 
receiver using the same CAT 5 cable.

Using Twisted Pair Cable 

Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match 
our digital twisted pair products; the Kramer: 

BC-DGKat524 

(CAT 5 24 

AWG), the Kramer: 

BC-DGKat623

 (CAT 6 23 AWG cable), and the 

Kramer: 

BC-DGKat7a23

 (CAT 7a 23 AWG cable). These specially built 

cables significantly outperform regular CAT 5/CAT 6/CAT 7a cables.
