How to install Eaton Tripp Lite HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit

Installing the Eaton Tripp Lite HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit is designed to be straightforward and non-disruptive to existing hospital IT and clinical workflows. Begin by identifying the HDMI source (such as a medical imaging device, computer, or media player) and the target display (monitor in a patient room, teaching space, or telemedicine workstation). Then prepare a quality Cat6 cable run between the transmitter and receiver locations, ensuring the route is tidy and compliant with your facility’s electrical and IT policies.

Step 1: Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable. Ensure the source device is powered on and set to the appropriate output resolution (ideally 4K @ 60 Hz for medical imaging clarity).

Step 2: Use a Cat6 (or higher) Ethernet cable to connect the transmitter to the receiver. Verify that the cable is securely seated at both ends and that the run conforms to any space constraints or protection requirements within patient areas or service corridors.

Step 3: If the system supports PoC, connect the power-over-cable configuration per the manufacturer’s guidelines. In facilities opting for PoC, power is delivered through the Cat6 link, reducing the need for additional AC adapters at the displays or sources. If PoC is not used, connect the included power supply to the appropriate unit as directed by the setup guide.

Step 4: Connect the receiver’s HDMI output to the target display, ensuring the display is set to the correct input. Power on the display and the transmitter/receiver units if required. The setup should automatically negotiate EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) and HD signal parameters to ensure compatibility with the connected medical displays.

Step 5: Verify the video signal. Check for the expected 4K @ 60 Hz image quality, HDR rendering, and stable color fidelity. If issues arise, recheck cable quality, distance limits, and ensure there are no EMI sources near the Cat6 run. In healthcare environments, it may be prudent to document the installation for IT records and patient safety compliance.

Maintenance tips: Periodically inspect the Cat6 cable runs for wear, secure connections, and any signs of damage. Keep the transmitter and receiver housings free of dust and moisture, and ensure that the PoC configuration (if used) remains within the recommended power budget. Regularly verify that displays remain configured to the correct input and resolution to preserve the fidelity of critical clinical imagery and telemedicine sessions.

Frequently asked questions
