Mounting Hardware Instructions
The B132-002A-2 and B132-004A-2 units come with mounting
hardware that allows them to be mounted in a variety of ways. The
following images show the different ways the included mounting brackets
can be attached for different mounting methods.
Note: The images below show a B140-101X DVI Extender, but mounting is the
same for the VGA Extenders. The B132-004A-2 can also be mounted to a Tripp Lite
B132-004-RB 1U rackmount bracket. Up to three B132-004A-2 local units can be
connected to a B132-004-RB.

Installation
EDID Copy
Compatibility issues can occur when EDID information is not properly
communicated between the source and the display. All of the transmitter
units in this manual include an EDID copy feature which stores a
monitor’s EDID information in the transmitter and sends it to the source,
ensuring optimal compatibility.
The transmitter can only store EDID information copied from a single
monitor. You should copy the EDID information of the monitor that
has the lowest maximum supported resolution of all monitors being
connected. This monitor must also support the native video resolutions of
the other monitors.
For example, if you plan to use three monitors that support the
resolutions listed below, you should copy the EDID information from
Monitor A, since the highest resolution it supports is 1440 x 900, which
is lower than the highest supported resolutions of the other two monitors.
Monitor A’s supported resolutions are also supported by Monitors B and C.
A. 1440 x 900, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600
B. 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, 800 x 600
C. 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 768, 1152 x 768,
1024 x 768, 800 x 600
If you are not using the EDID copy feature, the transmitter will use a
default set of EDID information.
Note: Receiver units will support EDID copy as long as they are used with a
transmitter unit that supports it.
To use the EDID copy feature, follow the instructions below:
1Determine which monitor to perform EDID copy on, per the example
in the EDID Copy section above.
2If using a B132-002A-2 or B132-004A-2 model, connect the
powered-on monitor to the input port of the transmitter unit. For the
B130-101A-MR and B130-101A-SR, connect the built-in VGA cable
on the transmitter unit to the powered-on monitor.

3If using a B132-002A-2 or B132-004A-2 model, connect the
external power supply to the unit and plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge
Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS). For the B130-101A-MR and B130-101A-SR models,
connect the included Micro USB cable to the unit and plug it into the
USB port on a computer or a USB wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds for
the EDID information to be copied, then disconnect the monitor and
proceed per the installation instructions in this manual.
Note: The B130-101A-MR and B130-101A-SR transmitter units feature an internal
EDID LED that blinks to indicate a scan is taking place. The LED will stop blinking
and glow solid when the scan is complete. When a monitor is connected, its EDID
information will be copied and stored on the transmitter unit. If no monitor is
connected, the scan will still take place and the Orange LED will illuminate, but no
EDID information will be copied. The information stored on the transmitter unit will
remain unchanged.
4You can verify that the EDID information was copied from your
computer’s Display Settings screen. If the model name of the monitor
that you copied is shown in the Display field, the EDID information
has been copied successfully.
Note: You may need to click on the Detect button.

Extender Kit Installation
(B130-101A-MR and B130-101A-SR)
Note:
1. If desired, perform the EDID copy procedure described in this manual prior to
installation.
2. Test to make sure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables
through ceilings/walls.
3. 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 (AWG) size higher than 24 AWG will result in shorter extension distance.
All Tripp Lite N202-Series cables are made with 24 AWG solid-wire cabling.
Tripp Lite N022-01K-GY (Cat5e) and N222-01K-GY (Cat6) are 24 AWG solid-wire
bulk cables. For optimal image quality, use Zero-Skew cable such as Tripp Lite
P524-01K.
1Make sure the VGA and audio source is powered off.
2Connect the built-in VGA cable of the transmitter unit to the
computer’s VGA port.
3Connect a 3.5 mm audio cable from the transmitter unit to the
computer.
4Connect the included Micro USB cable between the transmitter unit
and a USB port on the computer or USB wall outlet.
5Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 OUTPUT port of the
transmitter unit to the RJ45 INPUT port of the receiver unit (see
Product Features section for your model’s max distance information).
6Connect the built-in VGA cable of the receiver unit to the monitor’s
VGA port.
