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. Some displays may have default settings at HDMI 1.4.
   Note: This is only important for the B127A-1A1-BDBH model; the B127A- 1A1-BDBD will need DP 1.2a settings.

3. Verify your monitor has the HDR feature enabled. Some displays may have this feature disabled as a factory setting.

4. 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.

5. Check the USB/IR DIP switch, as the default setting is set to “IR”.
   Note: 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.

Mounting Instructions

The B127A-1A1-BDBH and B127A-1A1-BDBD include mounting hardware that allows for a variety of mounting methods. The following images illustrate how the included mounting brackets can be attached for different installations.
Note: The model shown in the below images is for illustrative purposes only. Your product may vary by model number, size, or port orientation. The mounting options for all over IP units are the same.

Wall-mount

19” Rack-mount Pole-mount

Standard Extender Kit Installation

Model B127A-1A1-BDBH
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 a 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.

B127A-1A1-BDBH extender kit

1. Up to 230 ft. Cat6 solid cable at 4K/60 Hz
2. Up to 15 ft. DisplayPort cable at 4K/60 Hz
3. Up to 15 ft. HDMI 2.0 cable at 4K/60 Hz
4. Micro-USB cable
5. Toslink cable

1. Make sure all equipment in the installation—such as monitors, the DisplayPort source and the transmitter—is powered OFF.

2. Using a DisplayPort cable, connect the DisplayPort source to the INPUT port on the local transmitter unit.

3. Optional for B127A-1A1-BDBH: Using an HDMI cable (such as Tripp Lite P569-XXX-CERT or P568-XXX-2A Series cables), connect
   a local monitor to the LOCALOUT port on the B127A-1A1-BDBH local transmitter unit.

4. Using Cat6 cable, connect the RJ45 port on the local transmitter unit to the RJ45 port on the remote receiver unit.

5. Using an HDMI cable (such as Tripp Lite P569-XXX-CERT or
   P568-XXX-2A Series cables), connect the remote receiver unit’s HDMI port to a monitor.

6. Turn the power on to your connected TVs/monitors. The LOCAL (orange) LED will illuminate to indicate the local port has been connected to
   a display.

7. Connect the external power supply to the local transmitter unit and plug it into an available wall outlet or (optional) Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The POWER (green) LED on the local transmitter unit will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the external power supply. The POWER (green) LED on the remote receiver unit will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power from the local transmitter unit through PoC technology.
   Note: The external power adapter can be plugged into either the transmitter or receiver unit.

8. Turn on the power to the DisplayPort source. The OUTPUT (orange) LED on the local transmitter unit will illuminate to indicate a signal is being received from the source.

9. The (orange) RJ45 LED will illuminate on both the local transmitter and remote receiver units to indicate a signal is being received from the source to display. The screen should now display on the connected monitor.

USB/IR/Toslink Controls

The extender kit provides the following functional controls:

• USB 1.1 – One USB Micro-B input at the transmitter, dual USB-A outputs at the receiver
• Bi-Directional IR – Dual 3.5 mm jacks at both the transmitter and receiver
• Toslink output at receiver and transceiver

(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.
(Optional) Connect a Toslink cable (such as Tripp Lite’s A102-XXM Series cables) to a set of speakers, an audio receiver, or other audio system equipped with Toslink digital outputs.
