Tripp Lite B140-101X Dvi Over Cat5 Active Extender Kit

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE B140-101X is an active DVI extender kit that transmits DVI video signals over standard Cat5 or Cat5e cabling. This kit includes a local transmitter unit and a remote receiver unit, allowing installers to extend a DVI source beyond the limitations of a direct cable run. It is used in AV integration, digital signage, conference room builds, and other fixed-installation environments where a DVI display must be located farther from the source than a standard DVI cable permits. AV integrators and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that deploy this type of hardware.

This extender kit is suited for commercial and institutional installations where structured cabling infrastructure is already in place. Typical applications include boardrooms, training rooms, retail display environments, and classrooms. The kit leverages existing Cat5 runs to deliver a DVI signal to a remote display without requiring a dedicated high-cost DVI cable pull over longer distances.

Key Features

• Active signal extension over Cat5 or Cat5e infrastructure cabling
• Transmitter and receiver units included in a single kit
• Eliminates the need for long dedicated DVI cable runs
• Suited for fixed AV and digital signage installations
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style extender kit for use with DVI video sources and displays in residential or commercial AV installations requiring signal extension over Cat5 cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV integration technician. Power down or disconnect the DVI source device before connecting the transmitter unit. Use properly terminated Cat5 or Cat5e cable between the transmitter and receiver, following TIA-568 standards for structured cabling. Do not exceed the rated extension distance for the cable run.
