Extender Kit Installation
Notes:
1. Test to make sure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables
through ceilings/walls.
2. To achieve maximum distance and performance, 24 AWG solid wire Cat5e/6
cable must be used. The use of stranded wire Cat5e/6 cable or cable with a
gauge size higher than 24 AWG will result in shorter extension distance. All
Tripp Lite N202-Series Cat6 cables are made with 24 AWG solid wire cabling.
3. Make sure the power to all devices you are connecting is turned off prior to
installation.

improve the video image.
Note: An improper Equalization setting can cause the monitor to display
no picture at all. Try each Equalization setting until an acceptable image is
displayed.

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the
installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.
1. Is the USB Micro-B cable that came with the product connected
and plugged into a working power source? For the product to
function properly, the transmitter and receiver must be connected to
and receiving power from the USB Micro-B cable.
2. Was the power to the HDMI source turned off prior to
installation? If not, restart.
3. What resolution are you trying to reach? See the Product
Features and Installation sections in this manual for details
on maximum distance and resolution. The shorter the extension
distance, the higher the resolution you will be able to obtain. If you
are not able to get an acceptable image, try lowering your computer’s
video resolution or adjusting the refresh rate.
4. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in
poor performance, so it is important that you use cables that can
support the video resolution you are trying to obtain. To achieve
maximum distance and resolution, 24 AWG solid-wire UTP cable
(such as Tripp Lite’s N202-Series cables) must be used.
5. Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For
example, connect your Cat5e/6 cable between a computer and a
network to verify that it establishes a network connection.
6. Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between
the transmitter and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5
extender kits were designed to be connected directly from the
transmitter to the receiver via UTP cable. The more connection points
between the source and the remote monitor, the more likely signal
degradation will occur, causing poor performance. If you have a patch
panel or other device in between, it should be removed from the
installation.

Troubleshooting
7. Do you have a splitter, switch or other device in between the
computer and transmitter, or in between the receiver and
display? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5 extender kits were designed for
the transmitter to connect directly with the source computer, and for
the receiver to connect directly to the display. If you have a splitter,
switch, or other device in between, it should be removed from the
installation.
8. Check your cabling for any damage that may have occurred
during installation. If a cable connector is loosened from being
pulled through ceilings/walls, or the cable jacket is damaged, causing
the wiring to be exposed, you will not be able to achieve maximum
performance.
9. Are the transmitter and/or receiver units located in an area
that exposes them to elevated temperatures? If the product is
overheating, it will not function properly.
