The Tripp Lite DVI over Cat5/6 Extender Wall Plate Receiver is a compact, high-performance solution designed to deliver pristine digital video across long runs of Cat5e/6 cable. This receiver works in tandem with Tripp Lite’s B140-series transmitters (B140-002 or B140-004, sold separately) to extend a DVI-D single-link signal from a source to a display far away from the source. Engineered for reliability in conference rooms, classrooms, control rooms, and digital signage installations, this wall plate receiver combines a discreet, in-wall-friendly design with robust digital video transmission, making it an excellent choice for professional AV deployments that demand clean aesthetics and dependable performance. Whether you are upgrading an existing AV setup or planning a new install, this DVI over Cat5/6 extender ensures sharp image clarity, accurate color, and smooth motion at practical distances, all while maintaining a simple, plug-and-play workflow. The device supports DVI-I single-link signaling, uses standard RJ45 patch cables, and adheres to strict compliance standards, including TAA, making it a solid option for government and enterprise deployments.

• Extend DVI over Cat5e/6 with a compatible transmitter: The B140-1A0-WP-1 wall plate receiver works with Tripp Lite’s B140-002 or B140-004 extender/splitter transmitters (sold separately) to deliver a high-quality DVI-D single-link signal across a single Cat5e/6 patch cable. This pairing enables long-distance video transmission without sacrificing image fidelity, color accuracy, or stability, perfect for rooms where running bulky HDMI cables is impractical. By leveraging Cat5e/6 infrastructure, you gain flexibility in routing, easier concealment, and a cleaner overall installation.
• Impressive distance with high-definition video: When used with the appropriate transmitter, this wall plate receiver supports distances up to 200 feet (60 meters), enabling you to place your display in a location that optimizes sightlines and acoustics while keeping your video source centralized. The system is capable of carrying a 1920x1080 at 60 Hz signal over substantial lengths, ensuring you get crisp, full HD imagery with minimal degradation on longer runs. This makes it an ideal choice for classrooms, boardrooms, lobbies, and retail displays where reliability matters.
• Compact wall-plate design for discreet installations: The receiver is built as a wall plate that blends into standard AV or electrical wall box footprints, making it suitable for in-wall installations, podiums, or ceiling-to-wall applications. Its low-profile form factor keeps attention on the content rather than the wiring, while the robust RJ45 interface provides a straightforward connection to the Cat5e/6 cable that links the transmitter and receiver. The design supports clean aesthetics in professional environments without compromising performance.
• DVI-I single-link connectivity with simple interfaces: The unit handles DVI-I single-link video, giving you the flexibility to connect to displays that support DVI-I or DVI-D inputs (DVI-I connectors carry both digital and analog signals; the receiver handles the digital portion). The RJ45 link is used for the data channel over Cat5e/6, while the DVI-I connection to the monitor ensures compatibility with a wide range of displays. This setup excels in delivering sharp text, vibrant colors, and smooth video playback for presentations, lectures, and digital signage.
• Plug-and-play with strong compatibility and reliability: The DVI over Cat5/6 Extender is designed for straightforward installation with minimal configuration. Once the transmitter and receiver are paired and the Cat5e/6 cable is in place, the system is ready to deliver video with robust signal integrity. It’s a versatile solution for updating existing AV ecosystems or deploying new installations where flexible routing and clean cabling are essential. The product is built to endure professional environments, resisting common interference and maintaining stable video delivery under typical office and classroom conditions.

how to install [product]

Follow these straightforward steps to install the Tripp Lite DVI over Cat5/6 Extender Wall Plate Receiver and achieve a professional, clean video setup:

• Prepare the transmitter pair: Install and power on the B140-002 or B140-004 transmitter units at the video source location. Ensure the transmitters are properly configured and ready to send a DVI-D single-link signal over Cat5e/6.
• Connect your video source: Connect the source device’s DVI output to the transmitter’s DVI input using a standard DVI cable. Confirm the source is set to a supported resolution (e.g., 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz) to maximize compatibility and image quality.
• Link with Cat5e/6 cable: Run a high-quality Cat5e/6 patch cable from the transmitter’s RJ45 output to the wall plate receiver’s RJ45 input. Avoid tight bends and ensure a clean path to reduce crosstalk and interference.
• Mount the wall plate receiver: Secure the wall plate receiver in a standard wall box or mounting frame suitable for your installation. Ensure the plate sits flush and that the DVI-I output on the receiver is accessible to the display connection.
• Connect your display: Attach a DVI cable from the wall plate receiver’s DVI-I output to the display’s DVI input. Power on the display and source, then switch to the appropriate input on the monitor to verify the video signal is present with correct resolution and color.
• Test and optimize: Verify video integrity across the full distance, test multiple resolutions, and adjust source settings as needed. If video degradation occurs, inspect the Cat5e/6 cable for damage, replace with a better-quality patch cable, and confirm that both transmitter and receiver are within recommended distance and cable quality parameters.

Frequently asked questions
