Troubleshooting
There is no display on the screen.
It has been found that there are significant differences in the cable lengths/types and even input ports
which can be used on different brands of display using DisplayPort resolutions. If problems are
experienced, please apply the following steps:
Try a different input port on the display.

Reduce the cable length on the Input and Output to 1m.

Try a different type of 1m DisplayPort Cable.

Check that the DC plug and jack used by the external power supply is firmly connected.

Check that the Cat.6/7 cable is plugged in correctly.

Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the extender, then the display and finally

the source.
Reduce the length of Cat.6/7 or DP cable used or use a higher quality cable.

