Tripp Lite B126-1A1-U Hdmi Over Cat5 Cat6 Extender Kit

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE B126-1A1-U is an HDMI extender kit that transmits and receives high-definition video signals over standard Cat5 or Cat6 structured cabling. The kit includes both a transmitter unit and a receiver unit, allowing installers to push HDMI signals well beyond the 15-foot limit of a direct cable run. This type of balun-based extender is a common solution in commercial AV installations, digital signage deployments, and conference room builds where the source device and display are separated by significant distance. Installation is handled by AV integrators, low-voltage technicians, and electricians working on structured cabling systems.

The B126-1A1-U is suited for environments where running a long HDMI cable is impractical or code-restricted. Typical applications include boardrooms, classrooms, retail signage, and hospitality display systems. The transmitter connects to the HDMI source and the receiver connects to the display, with a single Cat5 or Cat6 run bridging the two. The unit is packaged as a single-unit quantity and is categorized for use with Cat5 and above plenum-rated cabling infrastructure.

• Suitable for commercial AV, digital signage, and conference room applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Cat5 or Cat6 structured cabling. Compatible with HDMI source devices and displays in residential and commercial installations. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or AV integrator. Power down all source and display equipment before connecting or disconnecting the transmitter and receiver units. Ensure the Cat5 or Cat6 run between units meets the distance rating specified in the manufacturer datasheet. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and any applicable NEC requirements for the installation environment, particularly when using plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces.
