How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series DisplayPort to DVI/HDMI over Cat5/6 Extender Kit

• Plan your layout: Determine the locations of the DisplayPort source, transmitter, receiver, and target display. Confirm that Cat5/6 cabling between the transmitter and receiver runs unobstructed within the 328 ft (100 m) maximum distance.
• Connect the DisplayPort source: Attach a DisplayPort cable from your computer, laptop, or media server to the transmitter’s DisplayPort input. Ensure the source device is powered on and set to an output resolution compatible with 1080p60.
• Link the display side: Connect a DVI or HDMI cable from the receiver’s DVI/HDMI output to your display. Confirm the display is set to the correct input (DVI or HDMI) and that it’s powered on.
• Run Cat5/6 cabling: Use standard Cat5/6 cables to connect the transmitter and receiver. For best results, use high-quality cables and avoid channels with excessive interference or multiple bundles that could affect signal integrity.
• Power up: Plug in the power adapters for both the transmitter and receiver units. Allow the units to boot and establish a link; indicator LEDs on each unit will confirm connectivity.
• Configure and test: If needed, adjust EDID settings or resolution on the source to ensure compatibility with the remote display. Test RS-232 and IR control by sending commands from the control device to verify remote management is functioning correctly.
• Optimize placement: Mount or position the units to minimize environmental interference and ensure easy access for maintenance. Route cables neatly to reduce wear and accidental unplugging.
