Installation
Notes:
• Test to ensure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through
ceilings/walls.
• To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid wire Cat5e/6
cable. Using 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.

1. Make sure all equipment being connected is powered off.
2. Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter unit’s HDMI Input port.
3. Optional: Connect an HDMI monitor to the transmitter unit’s OUTPUT
port using a P569-XXX-LOCK* High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet and
Locking Connector.
4. Connect the IR-TX cable to the IR port on the transmitter unit.
Note: The IR-TX cable transmits the IR signal to the device being controlled.
Locate the IR-TX unit in an area with clear line of sight to the source (e.g. Blu-ray
player).
5. Connect the external power supply to the transmitter unit, then plug the
external power supply into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) or Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
6. Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the transmitter unit’s RJ45 Output port to
the receiver unit’s RJ45 Input port.
7. Using a P569-XXX-LOCK* High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet and
Locking connector, connect the HDMI monitor to the receiver unit’s
HDMI Output port.
8. Connect the IR-RX cable to the IR port on the receiver unit.
Note: The IR-RX cable receives the IR signal from a remote control. Locate the
IR-RX unit in an area with a clear line of sight to the remote control.
9. Connect the external power supply to the receiver unit, then plug the
external power supply into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, UPS or PDU.
10. Turn on the power to all connected equipment.
11. If necessary, use the equalization control to adjust the video image.
Note: An improper Equalization setting can result in no image being displayed at
all. If an image is not displayed on your monitor, try adjusting the Equalization.
* Available in lengths up to 15 ft., with XXX referring to length
(e.g. 015 = 15 ft., 006 = 6 ft., etc.)

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to receive an acceptable image after following the
installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.
1. Are the external power supplies included 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 an external power supply.
2. Was the power to the HDMI source turned off prior to installation?
If not, restart.
3. What resolution are you trying to attain? 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. If you are not able to receive 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. As such, it is important to use cables that can support the
desired video resolution. 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. Are any patch panels or other devices connected between the
transmitter and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5 extender
kits are designed for direct connection between the transmitter and
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.

7. Is 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 are designed for direct connection
between the transmitter and source computer, in addition to a direct
connection between the receiver and 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 as a result of 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.
