Tripp-Lite B160-100-VSI Data Sheet

VGA Audio + Video over IP Extender Receiver
over Cat5/Cat6, RS-232 Serial and IR Control,
1920 x 1440, 328 ft. (100 m), TAA

MODEL NUMBER: B160-100-VSI

Receives IP-based audio + video signal transmitted point-to-point from a source 328 ft. away via Cat5e/6
cable or through a dedicated Ethernet network switch

Description

The B160-100-VSI VGA Audio + Video over IP Extender Receiver works with a Tripp Lite B160-Series
transmitter (sold separately) to extend and distribute VGA audio + video, RS-232 serial and IR (infrared)
remote signals from the source to the display located up to 328 feet (100 meters) away, which is more
than 200 feet farther than a traditional Cat5e/6 solution. By adding a chain of low-cost unmanaged
network switches, such as Tripp Lite’s NG5, you can continue extending the distance between source and
display up to 328 feet per switch.

Owner’s manual

Create a multi-in, multi-out installation with up to 64 transmitters and 255 receivers* by connecting
dedicated managed Ethernet network switches** with Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), such
as Tripp Lite’s NSS-G16D2. With a compatible B160-Series transmitter, this receiver works with any
analog or digital source, including HDMI and DisplayPort™, allowing you to mix and match technologies
and use existing source devices. An IGMP-enabled switch will let you manage all connections for
centralized control over which sources show on which displays.

The B160-100-VSI supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1440, including 1080p. It extends IR control
signals that control a source, such as a Blu-ray™ player, from a remote display, as well as RS-232 signals
at serial baud rates up to 57600 Bps. It mounts to a wall, rack or pole using the included hardware.

*Unmanaged switch installations are limited to two transmitter units. Number of receivers is limited to

1 / 4

number of ports remaining on unmanaged switch.
**B160-Series designed for use with dedicated network switch. Connecting to a switch used with other
networking equipment will result in degraded or non-functional performance.
