how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series USB-C to HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit

Installing the Eaton Tripp Lite USB-C to HDMI over Cat6 Extender Kit is straightforward and quick, designed to minimize downtime and keep your displays looking their best. Follow these steps to set up a robust extension so you can start delivering high-quality video in minutes:

• Plan your layout: Determine the location of the USB-C host device, the HDMI display, and the longest Cat6 run between the transmitter and receiver. Ensure you have a clean, organized route for the Cat6 cable and accessible power options if PoC is not used.
• Connect the USB-C host to the transmitter: Use the appropriate USB-C cable to connect your USB-C source (laptop, tablet, or USB-C enabled computer) to the transmitter’s input. Confirm the host recognizes the display signal after connection.
• Link the transmitter to the receiver over Cat6: Run a single Cat6 (or Cat6a) cable from the transmitter’s Cat6 port to the receiver’s Cat6 port. Ensure the cable is not damaged and is properly seated at both ends for reliable signal transmission.
• Attach the HDMI display: Connect the HDMI input on your display to the receiver’s HDMI output. Double-check the display’s input source is set to the correct HDMI port to show the extended signal.
• Power and test: If using PoC, connect the power pass-through as required; otherwise, provide external power to the extender kit as specified in the user manual. Power on the host and display, then test for stability, color fidelity, and latency. If using USB peripherals, test keyboard/mouse function and any connected USB devices to confirm proper operation.
