Frequently Asked Questions - 671R Kramer

How do I connect the Kramer 671R extender?

Connect the transmitter (671T) to your source via DVI cable, and link it to the 671R receiver using CAT5e/6 cable. Then connect the receiver to your display via DVI. Ensure both units are powered.

What is the maximum distance the Kramer 671R can extend?

The maximum distance is 100 meters (328 ft) over CAT5e/6 cable. For longer distances, use a signal repeater.

What resolutions does the Kramer 671R support?

It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA) including 1080p. Lower resolutions like 720p are also supported.

Can I use HDMI with the Kramer 671R?

Yes, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter on both ends, but note that audio will not be transmitted as DVI does not carry audio.

Does the Kramer 671R support HDCP?

Yes, it supports HDCP pass-through, allowing protected content to be displayed on HDCP-compatible screens.

Why is there no signal from my Kramer 671R?

Check all cable connections, ensure the power adapters are plugged in, and verify the CAT5 cable is not damaged. Also try adjusting the equalization controls on the transmitter.

Can I use Cat6 cable with the Kramer 671R?

Yes, Cat6 cable is recommended for better performance and longer distances, though Cat5e also works.

Does the Kramer 671R require external power?

Yes, both the 671T transmitter and 671R receiver require 5V DC power adapters (included). They do not draw power from the source.

Can I extend the signal beyond 100 meters?

For distances beyond 100 m, you can use a Kramer extender with repeaters or a network switch with PoE. Contact Kramer support for solutions.

Is the Kramer 671R plug and play?

Yes, it is plug-and-play with no software required. However, you may need to adjust the equalization for optimal image quality.

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 671T, 671R 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.
