Frequently Asked Questions - CRS-AOCH/COLOR-50 Kramer

What is the maximum resolution supported by the Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR?

The cable supports resolutions up to 4K@30Hz, as well as Full HD 1080p, Deep Color 48-bit, and 3D content.

How do I identify which end of the cable connects to the source and which to the display?

The cable ends are color-coded: the green connector is for the source (e.g., DVD player, game console) and the red connector is for the display (e.g., projector, LCD). Do not swap them.

Does the cable require external power?

No, the cable draws +5V power directly from the HDMI pin #18 of the source device. No external power adapter is needed.

What audio formats does the cable support?

It supports multi-channel audio including PCM 8ch, Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

What lengths are available for this cable?

The CRS-AOCH/COLOR is available in lengths from 10 m (33 ft) up to 100 m (328 ft) in various increments such as 15 m, 20 m, 30 m, etc.

Can the cable be bent during installation?

Yes, but the minimum bending radius is 90 mm. Avoid tight kinks or twists to prevent damage to the optical fibers.

Is the cable suitable for in-wall or conduit installation?

Yes, with a pulling strength of up to 500 N (50 kg) and crush resistance of 500 N, it is designed for in-wall, conduit, and under-floor installations.

What HDMI compliance standards does it meet?

The cable is compliant with HDCP 2.2, EDID, and CEC.

How do I troubleshoot if there is no signal?

Ensure both source and display are powered on, connectors are fully inserted, the cable is not physically damaged or bent sharply, and the green end is connected to the source.

Is the cable resistant to electromagnetic interference?

Yes, the fiber optic design inherently provides protection against EMI and RFI.

CRS-AOCH/COLOR Fiber Optic High Speed Pluggable HDMI Cable

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR Plug and Play active Fiber Optic High Speed Pluggable HDMI Cable. The CRS-AOCH/COLOR provides an extremely high quality signal over a wide range of resolutions, up to 4K@30Hz. This cable is available in various lengths from 33ft (10m) up to 328ft (100m).

Features

The CRS-AOCH/COLOR:

• Supports a wide range of resolutions up to 4K@30Hz Full HD, 3D, Deep Color
• Supports Multi-channel audio, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD Master Audio
• Is HDMI compliant: EDID, CEC, HDCP
- Inherently provides protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI)
- Has built-in powering with low power consumption
- Has high pulling strength

Cable Dimensions

The CRS-AOCH/COLOR includes four optical fibers and six AWG 28 wires with compact size HDMI connectors. The cable has a SOURCE green colored end to which the source is connected (for example, a DVD, Blu-ray or game console box) and a DISPLAY red colored end to which the acceptor is connected (for example, a projector, an LCD display or a tablet device), see Figure 1.

Figure 1: HDMI Connectors – SOURCE and DISPLAY (with Dimensions)

CRS-AOCH/COLOR Plug and Play Installation

Before installing the cable, make sure that you have an HDMI graphic card or devices with an HDMI port (for example, a PC, laptop, DVD/Blue-ray player or any other video/audio signal source devices).

Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR Fiber Optic HDMI cables are designed to take +5V DC power from the source devices to the HDMI pin #18 of the SOURCE

side connector on the cable.

Optical fiber cable is not robust physically compared to conventional copper cable materials. Even if this cable is designed to be seamlessly resistant at certain levels of artificial strengths to the cable, CRS-AOCH/COLOR can be damaged if it is excessively pinched, twisted or kinked when being installed and after being installed. Be careful not to bend or twist the cable tightly.

When CRS-AOCH/COLOR is installed into the conduit, the fiber pulling strength and the bending radius are the key conditions to safe installation of the cable:

Maximum fiber bending radius: 90mm

Maximum fiber pulling/tensile strength: 50kg (500N)

Crush Resistance: 50kg (500N)

Do not disassemble or modify the products, especially the HDMI connector head parts. Do not remove the dust plug before the cable laying process is completed. HDMI connector heads are very critical parts. Remove the head at the last moment just before the connector is plugged into the source or the display devices after the installation is complete.

To install the CRS-AOCH/COLOR:

1. Unpack the cable from the package with care and remove the cable tie. We recommend that you save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment.
2. Install the cable (for example, an in-wall or conduit installation or under-floor installations).
3. Once the cable installation is complete, remove the dust cap and plug the SOURCE green connector head of the cable into the source devices.

Do not plug the SOURCE green connector to the display device.

1. Remove the dust cap and plug the DISPLAY red connector head of the cable into the display devices.

Do not plug the DISPLAY red connector to the source device.

1. Switch on the power of source and display devices.

Troubleshooting

If you have encountered a problem, check that:

• The source and display devices are both switched on
• Both HDMI connector heads are fully plugged into the devices
• The cable or its jacket is not physically damaged
  • The cable is not bent or kinked
