Overview
Extend Your DVI and Audio Signals with Uncompromised Quality
The Kramer Electronics TP-953 DVI and Audio Over Twisted Pair Transmitter is engineered to convert DVI video and unbalanced stereo/S/PDIF/TOSLINK audio signals into a twisted pair signal. Paired with a compatible receiver (TP-954), this transmitter enables the reliable transmission of high-quality signals over extended distances.
Specifications:
- Input Signals: DVI Video, Unbalanced Stereo Audio, S/PDIF, TOSLINK
- Output Signal: Twisted Pair
- Maximum Distance: Up to 295' (90m) via STP cable
- Maximum Data Rate: 1.65Gbps
- HDTV Compatibility: Yes
- HDCP Compliance: Yes
- Maximum Resolution: WUXGA & 1080p
- Mounting: Rack mountable (4 units side-by-side in 1U with optional RK-1 adapter)
Key Features
Cable: For optimum range and performance use, use Kramer's BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623 and BC-DGKat723 cables. Note that the transmission range depends on the signal resolution, graphics card and display used. The distance using non-Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6 and CAT 7 cables may not reach these ranges
Indicator LEDs: Input & Output
Outputs: 2 CAT 5
System Range: Up to 90m (295ft) at XGA or up to 30m (98ft) at WUXGA on shielded BC-DGKat524 cable

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Capable of transmitting DVI and audio signals up to 90m (295ft) at XGA resolution using shielded BC-DGKat524 cable.
- Features indicator LEDs for both input and output, providing quick visual confirmation of signal status.
- Equipped with two CAT 5 outputs, allowing for distribution to multiple displays or longer signal runs.
- Designed for use with Kramer's recommended BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623, and BC-DGKat723 cables for optimal performance.
- The twisted pair transmission method helps in reducing signal degradation over extended cable lengths.
👎 Cons
- The maximum transmission range decreases significantly to 30m (98ft) when using WUXGA resolution, limiting high-resolution setups.
- Optimal performance and range are specified with Kramer's proprietary cables, implying potentially reduced results with generic CAT cables.
- The device specifically mentions CAT 5 outputs, which might be a limitation if a newer CAT6 or CAT7 infrastructure is preferred or already in place for other systems.
- Only two CAT 5 outputs are provided, which could be restrictive for installations requiring more extensive distribution without additional hardware.
- The product name does not explicitly state support for HDMI, suggesting it might be limited to DVI signals only for video transmission.
