Mounting  
The B126-2X2 and B126-4X4 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 B126-1A1 HDMI over Cat5 Receiver Unit, but the mounting  
hardware installation is the same for the B126-2X2 and B126-4X4.

Standard Installation  
Note:  
1. Test to make sure that the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through  
ceilings/walls.  
2. 24AWG, Solid Wire Cat5e/6 cable, such as Tripp Lite’s N202-Series, is required to achieve  
maximum distance and resolution.  
3. The diagram below shows a B126-2X2 installation, but installation will be the same for the  
B126-4X4, except for the number of ports.  
4. The back panel of the B126-4X4 contains an IR port which has been capped off. This port is  
intended for future use, and does not currently function.

sw[x] [n]  
Switches the source being displayed on the selected  
output. [x] is the output (1, 2, 3, or 4) and [n] is the  
desired source (A, B, C, or D). For example, a command  
of sw1 A would display source A on output 1.  
PWD

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
3
Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to  
installation? If not, restart them.  
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
5
What resolution are you trying to reach? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5  
extenders are tested to support up to 1080p @ 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.  
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 HDMI cables you are using must support the resolution you  
are trying to obtain. Inexpensive, low quality HDMI cables may not  
support the maximum resolution. It is recommended that you use  
Tripp Lite’s P568-Series High-Speed HDMI cables, as they have been  
tested to work with the B126-Series extender products.

Troubleshooting  
6
Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example,  
connect your HDMI 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.  
7
Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between the  
transmitter, repeater, and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s HDMI 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  
If you are having trouble getting your Terminal Emulation Software to  
recognize the switch, you may need to shut down your installation and  
start from the beginning. The 3.5 mm to DB9 adapter cable must be  
connected first; otherwise the switch will not be recognized.  
11  
If your are still having trouble getting your Terminal Emulation  
Software to recognize the switch, check to make sure that your serial  
settings are set according to the instructions in the RS232 Serial  
Control section of this manual.
