How to install Eaton Tripp Lite DisplayPort to HDMI Over Cat6 Extender Kit

• Plan your layout by identifying the source DisplayPort device (computer, media player, or graphics workstation) and the display (HDMI), then determine an efficient Cat6 route between the transmitter and receiver units.
• Mount the transmitter near the DisplayPort source and the receiver near the HDMI display. Ensure both units have adequate ventilation and are within reach of their power sources or PoC configuration as required by your installation.
• Connect the source DisplayPort output to the transmitter’s DP input using a standard DisplayPort cable. Attach the HDMI display to the receiver’s HDMI input, then connect a suitable HDMI cable from the receiver to the display.
• Run a Cat6 patch cable from the transmitter to the receiver. Use a high-quality shielded Cat6 to minimize interference in environments with dense cabling or large electrical noise. If your installation uses PoC, verify the PoC wiring configuration and ensure it is enabled per the user manual.
• Attach USB peripherals to the transmitter or receiver as needed for KVM control. If you plan to use PoC, connect the appropriate power source to enable power delivery along the Cat6 link; otherwise supply power to the units following the included power adaptors’ guidance.
• Power on the source device and the extender kit. Verify EDID negotiation and HDCP handshake on the display, then test 4K60 performance by playing back high-resolution content and ensuring color fidelity remains consistent across the screen. If necessary, access any EDID or color settings to optimize the display output for your specific display panel.
• Test the USB keyboard/mouse and any additional USB devices to confirm full KVM functionality. Check for latency, input synchronization, and resolution stability to ensure a seamless user experience in collaborative or teaching environments.
• Finalize the installation by securing cables, labeling connections for maintenance, and documenting the setup for future upgrades or service calls. Regularly inspect the Cat6 cable integrity to prevent signal degradation over time.
