DPH 101 • User Guide
The Extron DPH 101 DisplayPort to HDMI active adapter equalizes incoming DisplayPort
sources up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) at the input to compensate for signal loss. The DPH 101
then reconditions the signal, ensuring signal integrity up to an additional 15 feet (4.5 meters)
from the output to the connected HDMI device.

ATTENTION:
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm).
Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. Any shorter and the
wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids
all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power source
marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated output 12 VDC, minimum 0.5 A.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall
cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in
an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium,
or desk.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not
be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur
idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et
provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les
vis captives.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non
autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que
l’unité.
• Si ce produit ne dispose pas de sa propre source d’alimentation électrique, il doit être alimenté par une
source d’alimentation certifiée UL de classe 2 ou LPS et paramétré à 12 V et 0,5 A minimum.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une utilisation dans les espaces
d’aération ou dans les cavités murales. La source d’alimentation doit être située à proximité de l’équipement
de traitement audiovisuel dans un endroit ordinaire, avec un degré2 de pollution, fixé à un équipement de
rack à l’intérieur d’un placard, d’une estrade, ou d’un bureau.
• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique au National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne
devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.
