How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series HDMI over Fiber Extender Kit

1) Plan your layout by identifying the HDMI source location, the fiber path, and the display destination. Confirm that the source and destination devices support 4K60 and 4:4:4 color for maximum performance.

2) Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter input using a standard HDMI cable. Secure the multimode fiber link by attaching the fiber cable to the transmitter’s LC port, ensuring a clean, labeled run for easy maintenance.

3) Link the fiber path to the receiver by connecting the multimode LC fiber to the receiver’s LC port. This completes the fiber hop from source to display through the extender kit.

4) Attach the HDMI output from the receiver to the target display using another HDMI cable. If you are using audio devices or external speakers, verify that the HDMI audio path is correctly routed to the desired audio system.

5) For control integration, connect RS-232 control interfaces to the transmitter or receiver as required by your AV system. If IR passthrough is used, position the remote receiver so it can receive the remote’s signal from the intended area.

6) Provide power to both the transmitter and receiver as specified by the manufacturer, then power on the system. Verify that the source, fiber link, and display negotiate properly, and test 4K60/4:4:4 video, audio, and any RS-232/IR control commands to confirm full operational readiness.
