Troubleshooting

If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.

1. Is the USB Micro-B cable that came with the product connected

and plugged into a working power source? For the product to

function properly, the transmitter and receiver must be connected to and receiving power from the USB Micro-B cable.

2. Was the power to the HDMI source turned off prior to

installation? If not, restart.

3. What resolution are you trying to reach? See the Product

Features and Installation sections in this manual for details

on maximum distance and resolution. The shorter the extension distance, the higher the resolution you will be able to obtain. If you are not able to get an acceptable image, try lowering your computer’s video resolution or adjusting the refresh rate.

4. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in

poor performance, so it is important that you use cables that can support the video resolution you are trying to obtain. To achieve maximum distance and resolution, 24 AWG solid-wire UTP cable (such as Tripp Lite’s N202-Series cables) must be used.

5. Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For

example, connect your Cat5e/6 cable between a computer and a network to verify that it establishes a network connection.

6. Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between

the transmitter and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5

extender kits were designed to be connected directly from the transmitter to the receiver via UTP cable. The more connection points between the source and the remote monitor, the more likely signal degradation will occur, causing poor performance. If you have a patch panel or other device in between, it should be removed from the installation.

16-12-182-9334F6.indb 8 1/4/2017 4:40:05 PM

Troubleshooting

7. Do you have a splitter, switch or other device in between the

computer and transmitter, or in between the receiver and display? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5 extender kits were designed for

the transmitter to connect directly with the source computer, and for the receiver to connect directly to the display. If you have a splitter, switch, or other device in between, it should be removed from the installation.

8. Check your cabling for any damage that may have occurred

during installation. If a cable connector is loosened from being

pulled through ceilings/walls, or the cable jacket is damaged, causing the wiring to be exposed, you will not be able to achieve maximum performance.

9. Are the transmitter and/or receiver units located in an area

that exposes them to elevated temperatures? If the product is

overheating, it will not function properly.
