Frequently Asked Questions - CRS-AOCH/COLOR-197 Kramer

What video resolutions does the Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR support?

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

Is the CRS-AOCH/COLOR cable directional?

Yes. The green connector labeled SOURCE must be connected to the source device (e.g., DVD player), and the red connector labeled DISPLAY must be connected to the display device. Reversing them will cause no signal.

Does the cable require external power?

No external power supply is needed. The cable draws 0.25W from the HDMI source device via pin 18 (5V DC).

What is the maximum cable length available?

The cable is available in lengths from 10m (33ft) up to 100m (328ft), with multiple intermediate sizes.

Can I use this cable for 4K at 60Hz?

No, the cable supports a maximum resolution of 4K@30Hz. For 4K at 60Hz, a different cable with higher bandwidth would be required.

Is the CRS-AOCH/COLOR compatible with HDCP 2.2?

Yes, the cable is HDCP 2.2 compliant, ensuring compatibility with protected content from devices like Blu-ray players and streaming devices.

What is the recommended bending radius for installation?

The maximum recommended bending radius is 90mm. Excessive bending or kinking can damage the optical fibers.

Can the cable be installed in walls or conduits?

Yes, but care must be taken to avoid exceeding the maximum pulling strength of 500N (50kg) and to maintain the minimum bending radius. Use the included dust caps until final connection.

How should I clean the HDMI connectors?

The manual does not specify cleaning procedures. Avoid touching the connector pins. If necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth and ensure no moisture enters the connector. Do not use liquids.

What is the warranty for the Kramer CRS-AOCH/COLOR?

The manual does not specify warranty details. Typically, Kramer products come with a limited warranty. Contact Kramer support or refer to the product packaging for specific terms.

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
