Connect the ﬁ rst-level splitter to the HDMI source (using the integral cable on the 2-port B118-302-R or a

P568-series cable with the 4-Port B118-304-R).

Using a P568-series cable, connect a B118-304-R splitter or a display to any available port on this ﬁ rst level

splitter.

Using a P568-series cable, connect a B118-304-R splitter or a display to any open port of any second-level

splitters.

Using a P568-series cable, connect a display to any port on the third-level splitters.

Connect the Power Adapter to the ﬁ rst-level splitter, plug it in, and power it ON.

Connect the Power Adapter to the second-level splitters, plug them in and power them ON.

Connect the Power Adapter to any third-level splitter, plug it in, and power it ON.

The Output Port LEDs will illuminate when the ports are connected to powered-on displays.

Notes:

a) ALL splitters in a cascaded installation must be connected to an AC power source. b) The Power LED on the B118-304-R only will illuminate when the splitter is plugged into a power source. c) Use only the power adapters that are included with the splitters. d) It is recommended that you plug the power adapters into a Tripp Lite surge suppressor (sold separately). e) Longer ranges are possible by using higher-gauge cable, or at resolutions lower than 1080p. Contact

Tripp Lite for more information.

2.3 Extending Distance to Connected Display

Troubleshooting

If the image is not displaying properly:

Ensure that the unit is plugged in and powered on.

The B118-302-R and B118-304-R HDMI v1.3 Splitters contain a memory chip that helps distribute the

signal to the connected displays. If the image is not being displayed properly, or some displays work while others do not, press the reset button on the unit to reset the splitter.

Ensure that cable lengths do not exceed those speciﬁ ed in this manual.

Ensure the cable is working properly by connecting the HDMI source directly to the display experiencing

the problem. If the devices work properly when directly connected, contact Tripp Lite Technical Support at (773) 869-1234 for further assistance.

If the devices do not work properly when directly connected, try using another cable. If the devices still do

not work properly, try using a different display device. If this does not solve the problem, contact Tripp Lite Technical Support at (773) 869-1234 for further assistance.
