Disclaimer
Before installation, please check the following settings of your
source(s) and TVs/monitor(s):
1. Set display to 60 Hz. Double-check factory settings, as default
can be set to a lower frequency (Hz) than advertised.
2. Ensure the input setting of your monitor is set at HDMI 2.0.
Some displays may have default setting at HDMI 1.4.
3. Check if the Ultra HD (UHD) Deep Color setting is enabled on
your TV/monitor. Confirm with your TV/monitor manufacturer
which HDMI ports support UHD Deep Color.
4. Check the USB/IR switch. The default setting is “IR”.
Note: To connect a local monitor to your installation, the UHD Deep Color
setting may need to be disabled on your local TV/monitor (depending on
make/model) to achieve 4K / 60 Hz resolution.

Installation
Notes:
• Make sure all equipment in the installation—such as TVs, a Type-C
notebook PC and the transmitter—is powered OFF.
• 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 Cat6 cable. Using stranded-wire Cat6 cable, or cable with a
gauge (AWG) size higher than 24 AWG, will result in shorter extension
distance. Higher gauge cabling, such as 26 AWG, has a more limited
transmission capability than lower gauge cabling. All Tripp Lite N202-
Series Cat6 cables are made with 24 AWG solid-wire cabling.
• External power is not required for remote receiver units due to Power-
over-Cable (PoC) technology incorporated in the transmitter units.

Installation
1. Using a USB 3.0 Type-C cable, connect the USB Type-C
source to the INPUT port on the local transmitter unit.
2. Optional: Using an HDMI 2.0 cable (such as Tripp Lite P569-XXX-
CERT or P568-XXX-2A Series cables), connect a local monitor to the
LOCALOUT port on the B127A-1A1-BCBH local transmitter unit.
3. Using Cat6 cable, connect the RJ45 port on the local
transmitter unit to the RJ45 port on the remote receiver unit.
4. Using an HDMI 2.0 cable (such as Tripp Lite P569-XXX-CERT
or P568-XXX-2A Series cables), connect the remote receiver
unit’s HDMI port to a monitor.
5. Turn the power on to your connected TVs/monitors. The
LOCAL (orange) LED will illuminate to indicate the local port is
connected to a display.
6. Connect the external power supply to the local transmitter unit and
plug it into an available wall outlet or (optional) a Tripp Lite Surge
Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS). The POWER (green) LED on the local transmitter
unit will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the
external power supply. The POWER (green) LED on the remote
receiver unit will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power
from the local transmitter unit through PoC technology.
7. Turn on the power to the USB Type-C source. The OUTPUT
(orange) LED on the local transmitter unit will illuminate to
indicate a signal is received from the source.
8. The (orange) RJ45 LED will illuminate on both the local
transmitter unit and remote receiver unit to indicate a signal is
received from source to display. The screen should now display
on the connected monitor.

The extender kit provides the following functional controls:
• USB 1.1 – One Micro-USB input at transmitter, dual USB-A
outputs at receiver
• Bi-Directional IR – Dual 3.5 mm jacks at both the transmitter
and receiver
• Toslink – Audio output at receiver
Note: All of the following USB/IR/Toslink steps are optional. For port
locations, refer to the diagram in the Extender Kit Installation section.
IR Control
1. Connect a user-supplied IR-OUT cable to the transmitter
unit’s IR-OUT port. Place the sensor on the IR-OUT cable in
an unobstructed area within clear view of the device being
controlled. Then connect a user-supplied IR-IN cable to the
receiver unit’s IR-IN port. The IR-IN cable will communicate
the desired command via the transmitter’s IR-OUT cable.
Note: The IR-OUT cable receives the signal from the remote control and
sends it to the device being controlled (e.g. Blu-ray™ player, etc.).
