Tripp-Lite B160-200-HSI Data Sheet

2-Port HDMI over IP Extender Receiver over
Cat5/Cat6, RS-232 Serial and IR Control, 1080p @
60 Hz, 328 ft. (100 m), TAA

MODEL NUMBER: B160-200-HSI

Receives an 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 B160-200-HSI 2-Port HDMI over IP Extender Receiver works with a Tripp Lite B160-Series
transmitter (sold separately) to extend and distribute HDMI or DVI 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. Two HDMI outputs allow the connection of two displays.

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 VGA 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 B160-200-HSI supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 60 Hz. 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
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.
