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

• Step 1: Connect your HDMI source (Blu-ray player, computer, or media player) to the Transmitter using a standard HDMI cable.
• Step 2: Connect the Receiver to your display or projector using another HDMI cable. Ensure the display input matches the Receiver’s HDMI output.
• Step 3: Run a Cat5/6 Ethernet cable from the Transmitter’s output to the Receiver’s input; keep cable runs tidy and avoid sharp bends to preserve signal integrity.
• Step 4: Power both units via USB. If you have a nearby USB power source, connect the USB cables to provide the necessary power for operation; if the transmitter or receiver has a pass-through USB port, you can route power from a central USB hub or wall adapter.
• Step 5: Power on your source and display. Configure any necessary display settings to ensure the video resolution and audio output match the source’s capabilities. Test the connection across the full distance to confirm synchronization and quality.
