Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port DisplayPort to DisplayPort Splitter/Extender Kit over Cat6, MST Hub, 8K/4K 60 Hz, DP 1.4, Up to 230 ft. (70 m), TAA

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port DisplayPort to DisplayPort Splitter/Extender Kit is a high-performance solution designed for demanding digital signage, control rooms, boardrooms, and large-scale multimedia deployments. This MST hub and extender kit splits and extends a single DisplayPort source to two independent DisplayPort displays over Cat6 cable, delivering pristine visuals with zero perceived latency. Built to support advanced configurations, it enables mirrored, extended, and video wall modes, making it ideal for environments where precise alignment and synchronized output across multiple screens matter. With robust long-distance capability, modern DP 1.4 compatibility, and TAA compliance, this kit is engineered to simplify complex display networks without sacrificing image quality or responsiveness.

• Long-distance DisplayPort extension up to 230 ft (70 m) over Cat6 with zero latency, ensuring smooth playback and seamless multi-monitor setups in conference rooms, retail environments, and command centers.
• Versatile video modes — mirrored, extended, and video wall — to match your deployment needs, from budget-friendly duplication to expansive multi-panel signage that creates impactful, immersive experiences.
• Ultra-high resolution support up to 8K at 60 Hz (4:4:4) in video wall mode, plus high-quality 4K at 60 Hz for standard extended configurations, preserving sharp detail, color accuracy, and vivid motion in fast-paced content.
• DisplayPort 1.4 compatibility with MST hub technology, enabling multiple monitors to be driven from a single source while maximizing bandwidth and display options for advanced digital signage and multi-monitor control layouts.
• Power over Cable (PoC) capability and TAA-compliant design combine installation simplicity with rugged, government-friendly compliance for enterprise environments and regional procurement processes.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port DisplayPort to DisplayPort Splitter/Extender Kit over Cat6

• Plan your layout: Determine the location of the DP source device (computer, media player, or presentation system) and the two display destinations. Confirm cable routes, power availability, and mounting considerations for both the local and remote units.
• Connect the source: Attach a DisplayPort cable from your DP source to the kit’s input port. Ensure the source is configured to output at the desired resolution and refresh rate compatible with DP 1.4 and MST operation.
• Link to displays: Run two DisplayPort cables from the kit’s two output ports to each of the target displays. Use high-quality cables rated for 8K/60 Hz or at least 4K/60 Hz to preserve bandwidth and image fidelity.
• Lay the Cat6 connection: Use Cat6 (or Cat6a) Ethernet cable to bridge between the local extender unit and the remote display locations. Keep runs within the recommended distance (up to 230 ft / 70 m) and avoid excessive interference by routing away from power lines or high EMI sources.
• Power and configuration: If PoC is used, ensure the Cobra/remote unit receives power via the Cat6 path per the device’s PoC setup. If a local power option is required, connect the power adapters as instructed by the manufacturer, then power on the units. Configure the output mode on your DP source or monitor to switch among Mirrored, Extended, or Video Wall modes depending on your content and needs.
• Optimize settings: For Video Wall mode, align bezel compensation and ensure monitors are set to the correct native resolutions. In Mirrored mode, synchronize content across both displays; in Extended mode, treat each display as an independent workspace. Verify color, brightness, and timing to achieve a cohesive multi-display presentation.
• Test and fine-tune: Run a full test of content across both displays, checking for synchronization issues, latency, or edge artifacts. If you encounter issues, adjust resolution settings, frame rate, or MST configuration in your source device’s display settings and re-test until the output is stable.

Frequently asked questions

• What resolutions and formats does this kit support? It supports UHD up to 8K at 60 Hz (4:4:4) in video wall mode and 4K at 60 Hz for standard mirror/extend configurations, ensuring detailed visuals across multi-panel deployments.
• How far can I extend DisplayPort signals with this kit? The extender is designed to work up to 230 ft (70 m) over Cat6 cabling, making it suitable for large conference rooms, classrooms, retail displays, and control rooms where distance is a factor.
• Do I need external power? Power over Cable (PoC) support is available, which can simplify installations by delivering power through the Cat6 cable. Some setups may still require a local power adapter for certain configurations or remote units, depending on your rack layout and power plan.
• What display modes are supported? The kit supports Mirrored, Extended, and Video Wall modes, enabling you to duplicate content, extend the desktop across two displays, or create a stitched, multi-panel wall for impactful signage.
• Is this product compliant with government procurement requirements? Yes, the unit is TAA compliant, making it suitable for many government and regulated procurement environments.
• Can I use this with any DisplayPort source? The kit is designed to work with DisplayPort 1.4 sources that support MST and the required bandwidth. Ensure your source and displays support the desired mode (Mirror/Extend/Video Wall) and the 8K/60 Hz capability if you plan to use Video Wall at higher resolutions.
