Disclaimer
Before installation, check the following settings of your source(s)
and TV/monitor(s):
1. Set to display 60 Hz. Double-check factory settings, in case the default
is set to a lower frequency (Hz) than advertised.
2. Ensure the input setting of your monitor is set at HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort
1.2a. Some displays may have default setting at HDMI 1.4.
Note: This is only important for the B127A-1A1-BDBH model; the B127A-1A1-
BDBD, B127A-110-BD and B127A-111-BDTD
3. Check if the Ultra HD (UHD) Deep Color setting is enabled on your TV/
monitor. Confirm with your TV/monitor manufacturer which HDMI ports
support UHD Deep Color.
Note: Only for the B127A-1A1-BDBH model.
4. Check the USB/IR DIP switch, as the default setting is set to "IR".
Notes: Only for the B127A-1A1-BDBH and B127A-1A1-BDBD models.
The B127A-111-BDTD and B127A-110-BD units do not have IR/USB ports
or a DIP switch.
To connect a local monitor to your installation, the UHD Deep Color setting
may need to be disabled on your local TV/monitor (depending on the
make/model) to achieve 4K/60 Hz resolution.

Notes:
1) Test to ensure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through
ceilings/walls.
2) To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid wire Cat6
cable. Using stranded-wire Cat6 cable or cable with a gauge (AWG) size higher
than 24 AWG will result in shorter extension distance. Higher gauge cabling,
such as 26 AWG, has a more limited transmission capability than lower
gauge cabling. All Tripp Lite N202-Series Cat6 cables are made with 24 AWG
solid-wire cabling.
3) The installation diagram shows a B127A-1A1-BDBH unit.
4) External power is not required for remote receiver units due to Power over Cable
(PoC) technology incorporated in the transmitter units.

Receiver with Repeater Daisy-Chain Installation
1. Make sure all equipment in the installation – such as TVs, Blu-ray
players and the transmitter – is powered OFF.
2. Connect the DisplayPort source to the INPUT port on the
B127A-111-BDTD local transmitter unit using a DisplayPort cable (such
as Tripp Lite P580-Series cables).
3. Connect a local monitor to the local HDMI port using an HDMI cable
(such as Tripp Lite P569-XXX-CERT or P568-XXX-2A High-Speed HDMI
cables)
4. Optional: To increase the maximum transmission distance, connect a B127A-010-H signal booster (sold separately) between the transmitter
and receiver using Cat6 cable.
Note: In a daisy-chain installation, the B127A-010-H signal booster
unit must be placed between the transmitter and first receiver in the
chain or the signal booster will not function.
5. Using Cat6 cable, connect one of the RJ45 output ports on the local
unit to the RJ45 input port on the B127A-111-BDTD transceiver unit.
6. Connect a monitor to the DisplayPort output port on the transceiver
unit using a DisplayPort cable (such as Tripp Lite P580-Series DisplayPort Cables).
7. Connect the external power supply to the local transmitter unit and
plug it into a Tripp Lite surge protector, power distribution unit (PDU) or
uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The green RJ45 LED on the
receiver will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power. Up to
four units can be daisy-chained (one transmitter and three transceivers).
To connect additional transceiver units, proceed to step 8. To finish your
installation with a B127A-110-BD unit, proceed to step 12.
8. Using Cat6 cable, connect the RJ45 output port on the
B127A-111-BDTD unit receiver unit to the RJ45 input port on a
B127A-110-BD transceiver unit.
9. Connect a monitor to the DisplayPort output port on the
B127A-110-BD that you just added using a DisplayPort cable
(such as Tripp Lite P580-Series DisplayPort cables).

10. Connect the external power supply to the B127A-110-BD and
plug it into a Tripp Lite surge protector, power distribution unit (PDU
or uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The green power LED and the
green RJ45 LED’s will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power.
11. To add a second B127A-110-BH, repeat steps 8 through 10. To finish
your installation with a B127A-110-BH, proceed to step 12.
12. Using Cat6 cable, connect the RJ45 OUTPUT port on the last
B127A-110-BD to the RJ45 INPUT port.
13. Connect a monitor to the DisplayPort INPUT port on the last
B127A-110-BD using a DisplayPort cable.
14. The green LED on the B127A-110-BD will illuminate to indicate the
unit is receiving power from the previous transceiver. The orange LED
will illuminate to indicate the unit is connected to a powered ON remote/repeater unit.
15. Turn on the power to the DisplayPort source. The orange RJ45 LED’s on
the local unit will illuminate to indicate a signal is being received from
the source.
16. If necessary, use the Equalization control on the remote/repeater unit(s)
and remote receiver unit to adjust the video image.
17. The maximum number of daisy-chain layers is four for a total distance
of 920 ft., but the distance can be extended to 1,090 ft. when a
B127A-010-H signal booster is used. See the B127A-010-H product
features on tripplite.com for details.
Note: An improper Equalization setting can cause the monitor to not
display the picture at all. Try each Equalization setting until an
acceptable picture is displayed.

USB/IR Controls
The B127A-1A1-BDBD and B127A-1A1-BDBH extender kits provide the
following functional controls:
• USB 1.1 – One USB Micro-B input at transmitter, dual USB-A outputs
at receiver
• Bi-Directional IR – Dual 3.5 mm jacks at both the transmitter and receiver
(Optional) Connect the included IR-OUT cable to the transmitter unit’s
IR-OUT port. Place the sensor on the IR-OUT cable in an unobstructed
area within clear view of the device being controlled. Then connect the
included IR-IN cable to the receiver unit’s IR-IN port. The IR-IN cable will
communicate the desired command via the transmitter’s IR-OUT cable.
Note: The IR-OUT cable receives the signal from the remote control and
sends it to the device being controlled (e.g. Blu-ray™ player, etc.).
(Optional) With a user-supplied USB Micro-B cable (such as Tripp Lite
U050-XXX Series USB cable), connect to the transmitter’s Micro-B port.
Then connect a keyboard and mouse to the available USB-A ports on the
receiver unit.
