Frequently Asked Questions - U444CATH Tripp Lite

What is the maximum transmission distance?

The maximum distance is 45 m (150 ft) with a 24 AWG solid wire Cat6 cable (like Tripp Lite's N202 series).

Can I use a Cat5e cable instead of Cat6?

To achieve maximum distance and resolution, it is recommended to use a 24 AWG solid wire Cat6 cable. Using Cat5e may reduce distance or quality.

How to adjust video quality?

Use the built-in equalizer (EQ) located on the receiver. It offers 8 levels of adjustment. Adjust until you get an acceptable picture. Incorrect adjustment may cause no image.

What to do if the LED does not light up?

If the LED does not light up after installation, additional power is required. Connect a USB Micro-B cable (not included) to the USB Micro-B port of the receiver.

Can I use a local display in addition to the remote display?

Yes, the transmitter has a local HDMI output. You can connect an HDMI monitor to it to see the image displayed remotely.

The transmitter has a USB-C port that can charge the source device. Connect the source's provided power adapter to this port to avoid battery drain.
