Description
Unlock the power of multi-display imaging with a robust, enterprise-grade DisplayPort splitter and extender kit designed to distribute a single high-bandwidth DisplayPort signal to three monitors over Cat6 cabling. This MST hub-equipped kit delivers zero-latency performance, enabling mirrored, extended, and video wall configurations for digital signage, control rooms, classrooms, trading floors, and retail environments. Built to maximize the capabilities of DP 1.4, it handles ultra-high resolutions with ease and supports long cable runs up to 230 feet (70 meters), making it a versatile solution for large venues and complex displays. With Power over Cable (PoC) and TAA compliance, this three-port splitter/extender combines reliability, flexibility, and enhanced video fidelity in a compact, field-proven package.
- Triple-display DP distribution over Cat6 — Splits and extends a single DisplayPort source to three DisplayPort monitors, leveraging Cat6 for long-distance runs with consistent performance and zero perceptible latency.
- MST hub with flexible layouts — Transmits in mirrored, extended, and video wall modes, enabling synchronized signage, desktop extension across multiple screens, or immersive video walls for dynamic visual storytelling.
- Ultra-high resolutions up to 8K — Supports UHD up to 8K @ 60 Hz (4:4:4) in video wall mode, while also delivering pristine 4K and above for standard multi-monitor deployments, preserving color accuracy and clarity across all displays.
- DP 1.4 bandwidth and PoC — Built on DisplayPort 1.4 with robust bandwidth handling for high-bit-depth content, including audio, with Power over Cable to simplify power management across extended installations.
- Rugged, compliant, and easy to deploy — TAA-compliant design with solid construction, optimized for professional environments, and requires minimal on-site power wiring thanks to PoC—ideal for digital signage and mission-critical applications.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Port DisplayPort to DisplayPort Splitter/Extender Kit over Cat6
Setting up this DisplayPort MST hub is streamlined for professional deployments. Begin by planning the display layout and confirming the total cable length from the DP source to each monitor. Ensure you have Cat6 or Cat6a cabling rated for high-bandwidth DP 1.4 signaling. Mount the MST hub in a secure rack or enclosure, close to the DP source, with easy access for cable management and PoC power distribution where required.
- Connect the DisplayPort source to the MST hub input using a high-quality DP cable. Verify the source is configured to output a mode that matches your target configuration (mirrored, extended, or video wall).
- Run a separate Cat6 cable from the MST hub’s outputs to each DisplayPort monitor. Use cable management to minimize interference and maintain consistent signal paths.
- If PoC is supported on your model, connect the PoC-capable power injector to the hub and the appropriate power supply to the rack or cabinet. Ensure proper grounding and surge protection.
- Power on the DP source and each monitor, then navigate to the hub’s EDID and mode settings to configure the desired layout. In mixed environments, confirm that each display’s native resolution is supported and aligned with the video wall’s required configuration.
- Test the configuration by cycling through mirrored, extended, and video wall modes. Verify color fidelity, synchronization, and latency across all displays. Adjust scaling or alignment if needed for seamless presentation or signage.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What is the maximum distance I can run DisplayPort signals over Cat6 with this kit?
A: The kit supports up to 230 ft (70 m) from the DP source to the farthest display, depending on cable quality, interference, and monitor EDID requirements. For best results, use high-quality Cat6a cables and avoid excessive cable runs or routing near EMI sources. -
Q: Can I use this kit for gaming or high-refresh-rate content?
A: Yes, the kit is designed to support high-bandwidth DP 1.4 signals, including 8K@60 Hz in video wall mode and 4K formats at high refresh rates. However, latency is minimized (zero-latency claims refer to the optical and signal processing path), so performance will depend on source capabilities, GPU output, and display compatibility. -
Q: Do I need external power for the hub?
A: Depending on the model and PoC implementation, the hub can power across the Cat6 cable, reducing the need for multiple wall adapters. If PoC is not available or insufficient for your setup, provide a dedicated power source to ensure stable operation. -
Q: What display configurations are best for digital signage?
A: For digital signage, video wall mode offers a unified, seamless content presentation across multiple screens, while extended mode can create immersive environments where the desktop spans several monitors. Mirrored mode is ideal for demonstrations and synchronized messaging across displays. -
Q: Is this kit compatible with non-TA compliant environments?
A: The kit is designed to be TAA-compliant, making it suitable for many government and enterprise deployments. If your procurement requirements specify additional compliance, verify with the supplier before purchase. -
Q: What kind of monitors and cables should I pair with this kit?
A: Use DisplayPort-enabled monitors capable of reaching the desired resolutions and refresh rates. Pair with high-quality Cat6, Cat6a, or higher cables, and ensure the monitors’ DP inputs are configured to support the output mode chosen (mirrored, extended, or video wall).
