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

• Power off all connected equipment before installation to prevent electrical damage and ensure a safe setup.
• Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable, ensuring a secure, locked connection.
• Connect the transmitter to the display end by running Cat5e/6 cables from the transmitter to the receiver location; use two separate Cat5e/6 runs if your installation requires redundancy or distance beyond a single run’s reliable limit.
• At the receiver end, connect the Cat5e/6 cables to the receiver’s inputs and attach an HDMI cable from the receiver to the HDMI display; if using PoC, the receiver will draw power from the Cat5e/6 link automatically when supported by the transmitter.
• Power the transmitter with the included power supply (or as specified in your kit) and verify that the receiver is receiving power via PoC if your installation uses this feature.
• Power on the connected HDMI source and display; confirm video and audio are synchronized and that HDCP/EDID compatibility is functioning as expected; adjust EDID settings if your system requires specific display resolutions.
• Securely mount the transmitter and receiver in their intended locations; use cable management to keep runs neat and minimize signal interference; label cables for future maintenance.
• Test the full workflow by playing content from the source device and checking for stable video, clear audio, and proper on-screen display (OSD) information; if issues arise, check cable integrity, ensure Cat5e/6 wires are not damaged, and verify PoC power delivery as needed.
