Mounting Hardware Instructions All of the non-wallplate VGA extender products come with mounting hardware that allows them to be mounted in a variety of ways. The following images show the different ways the included mounting brackets can be attached for different mounting methods. Note: The images below show a B140-101X DVI Extender, but mounting is the same for the VGA Extenders. The B132-004-2 and B132-004A-2 can also be mounted to a Tripp Lite B132-004-RB 1U rackmount bracket.
Installation EDID Copy Compatibility issues can occur when EDID information is not properly communicated between the source and the display. Select models include an EDID copy feature which stores a monitor’s EDID information in the transmitter and sends it to the source, ensuring optimal compatibility. The transmitter can only store EDID information copied from a single monitor.
Installation continued 3 Connect the external power supply to the transmitter unit and plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). 4 Wait 10 seconds for the EDID information to be copied, and then disconnect the monitor from the transmitter unit’s input port and proceed per the installation instructions in this manual. 5 You can verify that the EDID information was copied via the Display Settings screen in your computer.

Installation continued Extender/Repeater Kit Installation (B130-101-2, B130-101A-2, B130-101-WP-1, B130-101A-WP-2, B130-111 and B130-111A) Note: 1. For models that support EDID copy, perform the EDID copy procedure described in this manual prior to installation. 2. An extender/repeater kit installation can start with a B130-101-2, B130-101A-2, B130-101-WP-1, B130-101A-WP-2, B130-111 or B130-111A. The only difference between these kits is the type of remote unit that comes with them.
Installation continued 5. To achieve maximum distance and performance, 24 AWG solid-wire Cat5e/6 cable must be used. The use of stranded wire Cat5e/6 cable, or cable with a gauge (AWG) size higher than 24 AWG, will result in shorter extension distance. All Tripp Lite N202-Series cables are made with 24 AWG solid-wire cabling. Tripp Lite N022-01K-GY (Cat5e) and N222-01K-GY (Cat6) are 24 AWG solid-wire bulk cables. For optimal image quality between 500 and 1,000 ft.
Installation continued If you are not connecting additional remote repeater units, proceed to step 11 to complete the chain with a receiver unit. 8 Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 OUTPUT port on the first remote repeater unit to the RJ45 INPUT port on a second remote repeater unit. 9 On the remote repeater unit that you just added, connect a monitor and speakers* to the OUTPUT port(s) using a VGA video and audio* cable.
Installation continued Non-Kit Remote Repeater Installation Note: 1. For models that support EDID copy, perform the EDID copy procedure described in this manual prior to installation. 2. The diagram above shows a B132-004-2 installation with the maximum number of remote units connected. A B132-004A-2 installation will be the same, except there will be audio connections.

Installation continued Non-Kit Daisy Chain Remote Repeater Installation (B132-004A-2 and B132-004-2 only) Note: 1. For models that support EDID copy, perform the EDID copy procedure described in this manual prior to installation. 14-11-071-9333F9.
Installation continued 2. The diagram shows a B132-004-2 installation with the maximum number of remote units connected. A B132-004A-2 installation will be the same, except there will be audio connections. B132-002-2 and B132-002A-2 local units cannot be daisy chained. 3. A 1024 x 768 (60 Hz) signal can be extended up to 1,000 ft. between the local transmitter and the first remote repeater unit in the installation. Up to an additional 1,000 ft.
Installation continued 5 Connect the external power supply to the first transmitter unit in the installation, and then plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The Red power LED and the Green RJ45 LED will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power. Repeat step 5 for each transmitter unit in the installation. When power has been connected to all of the transmitter units, proceed to step 6.
Installation continued 12 Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 OUTPUT port on the last remote repeater unit to the RJ45 INPUT port on a receiver unit. 13 Connect a monitor and speakers* to the OUTPUT port(s) on the receiver unit using a VGA video and audio* cable. 14 Connect the external power supply to the receiver unit, and then plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Troubleshooting If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below. 1. Are the external power supplies 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 VGA source turned off prior to installation? If not, restart your computer. 3.
Troubleshooting continued 7. What resolution are you trying to reach? Tripp Lite’s VGA over Cat5 extenders are tested to support up to 1920 x 1440 @ 60 Hz video resolution (See the Product Features section in this manual for details on max distance and resolution). The shorter the extension distance, the higher the resolution you will be able to obtain.
Troubleshooting continued 11. Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between the transmitter, repeater and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s VGA 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 between the source and the remote monitor, the more likely it will be that signal degradation will occur, causing poor performance.
