  • Page 17: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try these troubleshooting tips: 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. Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to installation? If not, restart them.
  • Page 18 Troubleshooting What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in poor performance, so it is important that you use cables that support the video resolution you are trying to obtain. To achieve maximum distance and resolution, 24 AWG solid wire UTP cable must be used. Tripp Lite’s N202- Series Cat6 Cables are made with 24 AWG 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 that are pre-tested to work with all B126-Series extender products.
