Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cable for standard internet connectivity?

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard LAN applications, including Gigabit and 10Gbps Ethernet networks.

Does this cable come with pre-installed connectors?

No, this is a bulk installation cable and requires you to install your own RJ-45 connectors.

Is this cable safe for plenum or riser spaces?

The BC-UNIKAT features an LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen Free) jacket, which is generally suitable for many safety-conscious installations, but check local building codes for specific requirements.

What is the primary benefit of U/FTP shielding?

U/FTP shielding wraps each pair individually, significantly reducing crosstalk between pairs and protecting the signal from external electromagnetic interference.

Can I use this cable with non-Kramer HDBaseT products?

Yes, this cable meets industry standards and works with all compliant HDBaseT devices regardless of the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Signal dropouts or intermittent video during 4K transmission

Verify that the cable shield is properly terminated at the connector and that there are no sharp kinks in the cable run.

Network speed not reaching Cat6a standards

Check all termination points for proper wiring order and ensure the use of high-quality, shielded RJ-45 plugs.

Cable fails continuity test

Inspect each connector for cold solder joints or loose wire contacts; use a cable analyzer to identify specific pin-pair faults.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent signal integrity for 4K UHD and HDBaseT
  • Individual pair shielding reduces electromagnetic interference
  • Versatile for both professional AV and standard LAN environments
  • Durable 23AWG construction
  • Safe for environments requiring halogen-free cabling

Cons

  • Requires professional termination tools and knowledge
  • Sold as bulk cable without pre-installed RJ-45 connectors
  • Stiffer cable construction due to internal shielding may be harder to route in tight spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, the BC-UNIKAT must be terminated by a qualified technician using professional-grade Cat6a shielded RJ-45 connectors. When pulling the cable through conduits or ceilings, avoid exceeding the maximum pulling tension or bending the cable beyond its minimum radius to prevent damage to the internal shielding or conductor geometry. The cable should be stored in a climate-controlled environment between 0°C and 50°C and operated in temperatures between -20°C and 60°C. For long-term reliability, always verify shielding continuity during testing to ensure the ground path is properly maintained throughout the installation.
