3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
• Use only high quality connection cables
1
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight
coils
(we recommend Kramer
high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
• Position your Kramer VP-16x18AK away from moisture, excessive
sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
