Frequently Asked Questions - CLS-AOCH/60 Kramer

What is the maximum video resolution supported by the Kramer CLS-AOCH/60?

The cable supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4), including 3D and Deep Color.

How long is the cable available in?

Lengths range from 33ft (10m) to 328ft (100m) in increments of 10m or 33ft.

Do I need external power for the cable?

Power is typically drawn from the HDMI port, but if a stronger signal is required, an external 5V power supply can be connected via the micro-USB port on the display side.

Which end connects to the source and which to the display?

The connectors are clearly marked: SOURCE must be connected to the source device (e.g., Blu-ray player) and DISPLAY to the display device (e.g., TV or projector). Reversing them may cause damage.

What HDMI features are supported?

The cable supports EDID, CEC, HDCP 2.2, and HDR (High Dynamic Range).

Can I pull the cable through conduits?

Yes, the cable is designed with a pulling tool and high pulling strength (500N) for installation in conduits. Ensure the bending radius is at least 6mm to avoid damage.

What audio formats does the cable support?

It supports multi-channel PCM (up to 8 channels), Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Is the cable suitable for outdoor digital signage?

Yes, it is ideal for indoor and outdoor installations, including digital signage, kiosks, and surgical theaters, thanks to its robust design and reduced EMI/RFI.

How do I clean the cable connectors?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the connectors. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials that might damage the gold-plated contacts.

What should I do if there is no video signal?

First, ensure both source and display are powered on. Check that the connectors are fully plugged in and that the cable is not bent or damaged. Confirm that the SOURCE and DISPLAY ends are correctly oriented. If using external power, verify the micro-USB connection.

CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX 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 device).

Optical fiber cable is not robust physically compared to conventional copper cable materials. Even though this cable is designed to be resistant to artificial strengths on the cable, CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX can be damaged if it is excessively pinched, twisted or kinked when being installed and after being installed. Take care not to bend or twist the cable tightly.

When CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX is installed into the conduit, the fiber pulling strength and the bending radius are the key conditions to safe installation of the cable.

Do not disassemble or modify the products, especially the HDMI connector head parts.

To install the CLS-AOCH/60-XX / CP-AOCH/60-XX:

1. Unpack the cable from the package with care and remove the cable tie.
2. Place the micro-HDMI (Type D) connector inside the Pulling Tool and close its cover.

Note that you can pull the cable either from the display side or the source side (as shown in Figure 3), but you have to make sure that the cable polarity is correct (tagged Source if pulling the source side or Display if pulling the display side).

1. Attach the pulling cable to the Pulling Tool.

III: Insert the pulling cable through the Pulling Tool ring.
Figure 3: Attaching the Pulling Tool

1. Carefully install the cable (for example, in the wall or conduit or under the floor).

2. Connect the:

3. SOURCE HDMI adaptor to the micro-HDMI connector SOURCE end of the cable.

4. DISPLAY HDMI adaptor to the micro-HDMI connector DISPLAY end of the cable.

HDMI adapters in this box are not interchangeable!

You must connect the adapter marked SOURCE to the SOURCE connector head of the cable and the adapter marked DISPLAY to the DISPLAY connector head of the cable.

Connecting an adapter to the wrong end of the cable could cause damage to the cable, adapter, and connected AV equipment.

1. Secure the connection on each side using the supplied locking screws.

2. Plug the SOURCE connector head of the cable into the source devices.
   Do not plug the SOURCE connector to the display device.

3. Plug the DISPLAY connector head of the cable into the display devices.

Do not plug the DISPLAY connector to the source device.

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

2. If required, connect an external power source via the micro-USB connector on the DISPLAY side.

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

Note that it is important to connect the cable correctly as marked on the end of each connector: SOURCE to the source side and DISPLAY to the acceptor side.
