how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series DisplayPort to HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit

Setting up this extender kit is designed to be straightforward, with a focus on minimal cabling and intuitive configuration. Follow these general steps to achieve a dependable, high-performance link between your DisplayPort source and HDMI display:

• Position the Transmitter near the DisplayPort source (laptop, desktop, or media player) and the Receiver near the HDMI display; ensure both units have adequate ventilation and are within the recommended distance of the Cat6 link.
• Connect the DisplayPort source to the Transmitter using a standard DisplayPort cable. Verify that the source is powered on and configured to output a 4K60 signal if supported.
• Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display with a compatible HDMI cable. Ensure the display is set to the correct HDMI input to receive the signal.
• Run a Cat6 (or Cat6a) Ethernet cable from the Transmitter to the Receiver, using the full length of the run up to 230 ft (70.1 m). Keep the cable away from sources of interference and avoid tight bends to preserve signal integrity.
• Enable PoC if you plan to power the kit from a centralized source; otherwise, supply power to the units per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Power on both units and check for a stable video signal on the display. If the picture does not appear, recheck cable connections and input selections, and ensure the source and display support the configured resolution.
• Test a variety of content, including high-definition video and desktop applications, to confirm consistent performance across the extended distance. Adjust display settings if needed to optimize color, brightness, and sharpness for the specific environment.
• For long-term reliability, route cables neatly, label responsible cables, and secure the Transmitter and Receiver in their preferred locations to minimize movement and wear during daily use or events.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the maximum extension distance for this kit?

The extender supports video transmission up to 230 ft (70.1 m) over a single Cat6 cable, making it suitable for large rooms, auditoriums, and multi-display setups where direct cable runs are impractical.

• What video formats and resolutions are supported?

The system is designed to deliver 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and HDR compatibility, providing crisp text, vibrant graphics, and accurate color reproduction for modern displays and content sources.

• Does the kit require external power?

PoC (Power over Cable) capability allows power to be supplied through the Cat6 link in some configurations, reducing the need for multiple wall adapters. External power may be used if PoC is not available in a given installation.

• Is this extender compatible with all DisplayPort sources and HDMI displays?

The kit is designed to work with a broad range of DisplayPort sources and HDMI displays. For optimal results, ensure both devices support the same resolution (4K60) and color format (4:4:4), and verify EDID and HDCP compatibility as needed.

• Is the product suitable for government or regulated environments?

Yes. The kit is TAA compliant, meeting procurement and regulatory requirements for government, education, and other regulated sectors, while preserving robust performance for daily AV operations.

• Can I use this with multiple displays or only a single HDMI display?

The extender is designed for a single DisplayPort-to-HDMI link between one source and one HDMI display. For multi-display arrangements, consider coordinating multiple extender kits or alternate solutions designed for daisy-chaining or matrix routing.
