For a long range application, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable is preferred.
However, the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable should be installed far away
from electric cables, motors etc., which are prone to create electrical interference.
3.3 About the Power Connect Feature
The Power Connect feature lets you power a transmitter / receiver system by
connecting just one power adapter— to either the transmitter or the receiver.
The other unit is fed via the cable connecting between the
transmitter/receiver. The Power Connect feature applies as long as the cable
can carry power. The distance does not exceed 50 meters on standard CAT5
cable, for longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used

.
For a CAT5 cable exceeding a distance of 50 meters, separate power supplies
should be connected to the transmitter and to the receiver simultaneously.
3.4 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding 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 and position your
TP-50 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit

.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
1 CAT5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances
