Disclaimer
Before installation, please check the following settings of your source(s)
and TV/monitor(s):
1. Set display(s) 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. Verify your monitor has the HDR feature enabled. Some displays may
have this feature disabled as a factory setting.
4. Check if the Ultra HD (UHD) Deep Color setting is enabled on your
display. Confirm with your display manufacturer which HDMI ports
support UHD Deep Color.
Note: To connect a local display to your installation, its UHD Deep Color setting may
need to be disabled to achieve 4K/60 Hz resolution.

images illustrate how the included mounting brackets can be attached for
different installations.
Note: The model shown in the below images is for illustrative purposes only. Your
product may vary by model number, size or port orientation. The mounting options
for all over Cat6 units are the same.

B127A-4X2-BH2PH 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 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.
• The installation diagram shows a B127A-4X2-BH2PH kit, which includes a
quad-input/dual-output switch unit and two B127A-1P0-PH pigtail receiver units.
• External power is not required for remote receivers due to Power over Cable
(PoC) technology incorporated in the switch.
