Tripp Lite B126-1A0 Hdmi Over Cat5 Active Extender

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE B126-1A0 is an active HDMI extender that transmits high-definition video and audio signals over standard Cat5 or Cat5e/Cat6 structured cabling. Designed for installations where running a direct HDMI cable is impractical, the B126-1A0 allows AV technicians and low-voltage installers to extend HDMI signals beyond the typical cable length limits imposed by passive connections. The unit ships as a single-unit set and is sold individually. It is suited for conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage runs, and other fixed AV installations where signal integrity over longer cable runs is required.

The B126-1A0 is used in commercial and residential AV distribution applications where a source device such as a media player, cable box, or computer must feed a display located at a distance that standard HDMI cabling cannot reliably cover. It is installed by low-voltage AV technicians or electricians working within structured cabling environments. Typical scenarios include boardroom display systems, hospitality video distribution, and permanent digital signage installations using existing Cat5 or Cat5e/Cat6 infrastructure.

Key Features

• Extends HDMI signals over Cat5 or Cat5e/Cat6 cabling
• Active design maintains signal integrity over longer runs compared to passive adapters
• Single-unit configuration sold individually
• Compatible with standard structured cabling infrastructure already in place
• Supports high-definition video and audio transmission

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style active extender for use with HDMI source devices and displays in structured Cat5 or Cat5e/Cat6 cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage AV technician or licensed electrician familiar with structured cabling standards. Power down all source and display equipment before making or breaking HDMI and Cat5 connections. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and any applicable NEC guidelines for signal cable routing. Verify that existing Cat5 or Cat5e/Cat6 runs meet the length and termination requirements specified in the product datasheet before installation.
