Key Features
Max. Data Rate - 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel).
DGKat Signal Integration - Kramer’s unique technology for converting TMDS as well as control and communication to signals that run over twisted pair cables. We strongly recommend using Kramer DGKat cables designed specifically for optimum performance.
Bidirectional RS-232 & IR Interface. - 38400 max baud rate.
System Range - Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 30m (98ft) at 1080p on shielded BC−DGKat524 cable. Up to 90m (295ft) at 1080i, or up to 70m (230ft) at 1080p on shielded BC−DGKat623 cable. Up to 100m (330ft) at 1080i or up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p on shielded BC−DGKat723 cable.
Cable - Requires shielded twisted pair (STP) 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. Use only shielded cable where both ends of the shield are soldered to ground.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Achieve high data transfer rates with a maximum of 4.95Gbps, distributing 1.65Gbps per graphic channel for efficient signal delivery.
- Benefit from Kramer’s unique DGKat Signal Integration technology, converting TMDS, control, and communication signals over twisted pair cables.
- Utilize bidirectional RS-232 and IR interface for comprehensive control, supporting a maximum baud rate of 38400 for diverse system integration.
- Extend signal transmission significantly, reaching up to 90m (295ft) at 1080p and 100m (330ft) at 1080i when using Kramer DGKat723 cables.
- Optimize performance and range by using Kramer’s recommended BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623, and BC-DGKat723 shielded twisted pair cables.
👎 Cons
- Achieving the maximum specified system range requires the use of Kramer's proprietary DGKat cables, which may incur additional cost and limit cable flexibility.
- The transmission range is explicitly stated to depend on signal resolution, graphics card, and display, which introduces variability and potential limitations.
- Using non-Kramer CAT 5, CAT 6, and CAT 7 cables may result in shorter transmission distances than advertised, affecting system planning.
- The product necessitates shielded twisted pair (STP) cable with both ends of the shield soldered to ground, adding a specific installation requirement.
- The data rate is fixed at 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per graphic channel), which might be a limitation for future-proofing with higher bandwidth requirements.
