How to install Tripp Lite VGA over Cat5/6 Extender Kit

• Plan your cable route: Determine the ideal path between the video source and the display, selecting a route that supports Cat5e/6 and minimizes EMI from nearby power lines or equipment.
• Connect the transmitter to the source: Attach a standard VGA cable from your computer, media player, or other VGA source to the transmitter’s VGA input; ensure a firm, secure connection.
• Link the transmitter to the receiver: Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the transmitter to the receiver, keeping the run tidy and avoiding physical stress or sharp bends that could affect signal integrity.
• Connect the receiver to the display: Use a VGA cable from the receiver’s output to the display’s VGA input; verify secure connections on both ends.
• Power and test: Apply power to both transmitter and receiver using the appropriate adapters; power on the source and the display, then verify that the video appears clearly on the display without distortion.
