2. Installation
1
Connect the HDMI source to the B125-150 Source Unit using a Tripp Lite P568-series
HDMI cable.*
2
Connect the HDMI display to the B125-150 Display Unit using a Tripp Lite P568-series
HDMI cable.*
3
Connect a Tripp Lite N001- N002 or N201-series Cat5e/6 cable* from Port A of the
B125-150 Source Unit to Port A of the B125-150 Display Unit.
4
Connect a Tripp Lite N001-, N002 or N201-series Cat5e/6 cable* from Port B of the
B125-150 Source Unit to Port B of the B125-150 Display Unit.
Note: If the Cat5/6 cables are cross-connected (A to B and B to A) the Extender will not
function. To avoid this problem, either tag the cables or use differently colored cables, e.g.
black and red.
5
Connect the included Power Adapter to the B125-150 Display Unit, then plug it into an
AC power outlet. To prevent damage and assure peak performance, it is recommended
that the Power Adapter be plugged into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor.
Note: Depending on signal and cable quality, the Power Adapter may not be required.
However, Tripp Lite recommends using it at all times.
* HDMI and Cat5e/6 cables sold separately.
3. Troubleshooting
If the image is not displaying properly:
1
Check to ensure that Connectors A and B on the source side are connected to
Connectors A and B on the display side. If the Cat5/6 cables are cross-connected (A to
B and B to A), the Extender will not function.
2
Check to ensure that you are not using Cat5e/6 cross-over cabling. If this type of
cabling is used, the Extender will not function.
3
Verify that the HDMI source and display are functioning properly by connecting them
using a Tripp Lite P568-series cable no longer than 15 ft. If the source and display
are functioning properly, test the Cat5/6 cabling by connecting it between two Cat5/6
devices. If the Cat5/6 cabling is functioning properly, contact Tripp Lite Technical
support at (773) 869-1234 for further assistance.
