Remote Repeater Installation
7
Connect the external power supply to the repeater and plug it into a
Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU or UPS. The Green Power LED and
the Green RJ45 LEDs illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power.
Add up to 3 repeaters per channel, for a total of 4 displays
(An active remote receiver should be the last unit in a channel). To connect
additional repeaters, proceed to step 8. To finish your installation with a
B140-1A0 or B140-1A0-WP receiver, proceed to step 11.
8
Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 output port on the first repeater
to the RJ45 input port on a second repeater.
9
Connect a monitor to the DVI output port on the repeater using a
Tripp Lite P561-Series DVI-D Single-Link cable.
10
Connect the external power supply to the repeater and plug it into a
Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU or UPS. The Green Power LED and
the Green RJ45 LEDs illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power.
To add a third repeater, repeat steps 8 through 10. To finish your
installation with a B140-1A0 or B140-1A0-WP receiver, proceed to
step 11.
11
Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 output port on the last repeater
to the RJ45 input port on a B140-1A0 or B140-1A0-WP receiver.
12
Connect a monitor to the DVI output port on the receiver using a
Tripp Lite P561-Series DVI-D Single-Link cable.
13
Connect the external power supply to the active remote receiver unit,
and plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU, or UPS. When
receiving power, the Green RJ45 LED on the B140-1A0, and the Green
Power LED on the B140-1A0-WP, will illuminate.

Remote Repeater Installation
Repeat steps 5 through 13 to connect a second repeater chain to the RJ45
port on the B140-202 marked Output 2.
14
Turn on the power to your DVI sources. The Orange RJ45 LEDs on the
B140-202, B140-110, and B140-1A0, and the Orange Activity LED
on the B140-1A0-WP, will illuminate. The video image should now be
displayed on the connected monitors.
15
If necessary, use the Equalization control on the repeater and receiver
units to adjust the video image. Note: An improper Equalization setting
can cause the monitor not to display an image at all. Try each setting
until an acceptable image is displayed.
16
Press the switch to the left of the Output 1 LEDs to switch the source
being displayed on the Output 1 channel. Press the switch to the left of
the Output 2 LEDs to switch the source being displayed on the Output
2 channel. You can also use the included remote control to switch
between sources. Press button 1 to toggle the source being displayed
on Output 1. Press button 2 to toggle the source being displayed on
Output 2. Note: Buttons 3 and 4 on the remote control are inactive.
Troubleshooting
If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation
instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.
1
Is the external power supply that came with the product connected
and plugged into a working power source? For the product to function
properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the external
power supply.
2
Was the power to the DVI source turned off prior to installation? If not,
restart your computer.

Troubleshooting
3
Have you adjusted the Equalization setting on the repeater and/or
receiver units? There are built-in Equalization adjustment knobs on
every repeater and active receiver, which can be adjusted to obtain the
best picture quality. Use the mini screwdriver included with the product
to adjust this setting until an acceptable image is displayed. Note: An
improper Equalization setting can cause the monitor not to display an
image at all. Try each setting until an acceptable image is displayed.
4
What resolution are you trying to reach? Tripp Lite’s DVI over Cat5
extenders are tested to support up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz video
resolution (See the Product Features section or the installation
diagrams in this manual for details on max distance and resolution
when using the repeater and the different receivers). 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 after adjusting the
Equalization setting, try lowering your computer’s video resolution or
adjusting the refresh rate.
5
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, 24AWG solid wire UTP cable must be used.
Tripp Lite’s N202-Series Cat6 cables are made with 24AWG solid
wire, as are the N022-01K-GY (Cat5) and N222-01K-GY bulk cables.
Also, the DVI cables you are using must support the resolution you are
trying to obtain. Inexpensive, low quality DVI cables may not support
the maximum resolution. It is recommended that you use Tripp Lite’s
P561-Series DVI-D Single-Link cables, as they have been tested to
work with the B140-Series extender products.
6
Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example,
connect your DVI cables between a source and monitor that you know
works to see if the cable is functioning. For Cat5e/6 cable, connect
it between a computer and a network to verify that it establishes a
network connection.

Troubleshooting
7
Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between the
transmitter, repeater, and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s DVI over Cat5
extender products were designed to be connected directly from the
transmitter to the repeater and/or receiver via UTP cable. The more
connection points that are in between the source and the remote
monitor, the more likely it will be that 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.
8
Check your cabling for any damages that may have occurred during
installation. If a cable connector is loosened from pulling 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, repeater, and/or receiver located in an area that
exposes them to higher temperatures? If the product is overheated, it
will not function properly.
10
Are you using a VGA to DVI adapter with this product? The B140-Series
extenders support DVI-D (Digital) only, and will not function if connected
to a VGA computer or monitor.
11
If using a DVI to HDMI adapter with this product, you will only be able
to transmit a video signal. DVI does not support audio, and will not be
able to send an audio signal to an HDMI display.
