HDMI over DigiKat Twisted Pair Transmitter - Black

The Kramer WP-571/US(B) is a black, US-size wall plate transmitter designed to convert an HDMI signal into a DGKat twisted-pair signal for transmission to a WP-572 receiver. Its one-gang format places the transmitter at the wall connection point, while PoC operation, HDCP 2.2 support, 4.95 Gbps bandwidth, and a 60 Hz refresh rate define its core system capabilities. This listing is specifically for the black US-size version.

Ideal Use Cases

The WP-571/US(B) is suited to installed AV systems that require an HDMI source connection at a wall plate and a DGKat twisted-pair link to a WP-572 receiver. It provides a practical endpoint for systems in which the source and receiving equipment are separated by structured cabling. The black one-gang design frame makes this version appropriate when a black US-size wall plate is required for the installation.

Because the product is a transmitter rather than a complete extension system, system planning should account for the matching WP-572 receiver and the required source, destination, and twisted-pair connections.

Why Choose This Model

This model combines HDMI-to-DGKat signal conversion with a wall plate form factor. The HDMI signal enters at the transmitter and is converted for delivery over twisted-pair cabling to the receiving device. That design positions the signal interface directly at the wall rather than requiring the transmitter to be described as a separate freestanding unit.

The WP-571 also incorporates PoC within its DGKat design. HDCP 2.2 support is identified for protected HDMI content, while the stated 4.95 Gbps bandwidth and 60 Hz refresh rate provide concrete criteria for evaluating the unit against the requirements of the complete AV system.

Installation and Integration

The WP-571/US(B) uses a US-size, black one-gang design frame. Its dimensions are 6.98 cm wide by 2.40 cm deep by 11.43 cm high, equivalent to 2.75 by 0.94 by 4.50 inches. These measurements should be checked against the intended wall location and installation hardware before placement.

Integration requires an HDMI source connection, a DGKat twisted-pair path, and a WP-572 at the receiving end. Cable selection and total system configuration should be evaluated together. The supplied product data does not state a maximum transmission distance, supported resolution, or included accessories, so those details should be confirmed for the planned installation rather than inferred from the bandwidth or accessory-cable information.

Performance Highlights

The transmitter is specified with a bandwidth of 4.95 Gbps and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. It also carries an HDCP 2.2 designation, supporting its role in HDMI signal distribution systems that use protected content. The WP-571 converts the incoming HDMI signal to DGKat twisted pair and sends it to the compatible WP-572 receiver.

These specifications provide the relevant performance baseline without assigning unsupported resolution, HDR, audio, or networking capabilities. Source equipment, receiving equipment, cabling, and display requirements should all be matched to the stated bandwidth, refresh rate, and HDCP version.

What Makes It Different

The defining characteristic of SKU WP-571/US(B) is its exact combination of US-size construction, black finish, and one-gang design frame. Other WP-571 variants in the product family use different regional formats and frame colors, making the full SKU important when selecting a replacement or specifying a consistent installation.

This version is also subject to a limited-supply notice. The source data states that it will be discontinued when global inventory is depleted. Buyers working on an existing WP-571 and WP-572 system should therefore verify availability when planning additions, replacements, or standardized installations.

Final Assessment

The Kramer WP-571/US(B) is a purpose-specific HDMI wall plate transmitter for a DGKat twisted-pair connection to a WP-572 receiver. Its black US one-gang frame, PoC design, HDCP 2.2 support, 4.95 Gbps bandwidth, and 60 Hz refresh rate make its intended role clear. It is a focused choice for compatible installed systems, with limited remaining supply noted for this exact variant.
