The DisplayPort Extender over CAT.6 allows the installation of a Hi-Def display up to 40 meters away from a DisplayPort
source using two CAT.6 cables. Resolutions can be up to 3840 x 2160 @30Hz over two CAT. 6 24AWG cablings. HDCP is
also supported. The Receiver is powered by the 2nd CAT.6 cable that extends the DisplayPort signal from the Transmitter,
eliminating the need for an external power supply on the Receiver.

6.1 Typical Application
The DisplayPort Extender is installed between the DisplayPort source and a connec ted Display device with speakers.
6.2 Installation
Installing the Transmitter (Local Unit)
1. Connect the video source to the DP IN on the DisplayPort Transmitter by using a DisplayPort cable.
2. Connect 2 Cat.6 cables to LINK 1/LINK 2 of DisplayPort Transmitter.
3. Connect the provided external power supply to the DisplayPort Transmitter.
Installing the Receiver (Remote Unit)
1.
Connect the DP OUT of DisplayPort Receiver to the Display device by using a DisplayPort cable.
2. Connect the other ends of 2 CAT.6 cables to LINK 1/LINK 2 of DisplayPort Receiver.
*When connecting the CAT.6 cables, make sure that each CAT.6 cable is connected to the Transmitter and is
connected to the corresponding jack on Receiver (e.g. LINK 1 --> LINK 1, LINK 2 --> LINK 2).
3. It is a must to connect an external power supply (DC5V 1A) to the DisplayPort Receiver once if the receiver is connected
to an Active DisplayPort adapter.
4. Turn on the power to the video source and connected monitor.

Note
: The DisplayPort Extender supports resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 @30Hz upon using two CAT.6 cablings. In order
to avoid bad signal transmitting, strongly recommends using the CAT.6 24AWG cable or higher grade; and the cabling work
should not be twisted (winded).
If there is no signal displayed, disable DisplayPort 1.2 mode from the OSD of display device and then check again.

6.3 Adjusting the Signal Quality
The DisplayPort Extender has an equalization (EQ) rotary switch on the front of the Receiver unit. This 16-position rotary
switch is used to adjust the boost level depending on the length of the CAT.6 cable.
Insert a small flat-headed tool into the notch on the rotary switch. The table below provides examples of various cable
types and lengths for CAT.6 cabling.
Note: Waits 5~7 seconds after adjusting the EQ rotary switch and check on the display. If the screen doesn’t satisfy you,
then backward/forward the EQ position again.
7. Catego ry cable wiring
Take precaution selecting the CAT.6 wires before connecting; use a cable tester to check the wires are correctly
terminated. (Incorrect Termination may cause damage to the receiver unit). Recommend to use T568B wiring as shown
below
