Product Features
Technical Overview
This video extender operates over Category 6 twisted-pair cable, supporting maximum distances of 150 feet at 1920x1080 resolution (60Hz) or 200 feet at 1024x768 resolution (60Hz). The system requires 24AWG solid wire Cat5e or Cat6 cable, such as Tripp Lite's N202-Series, to achieve optimal performance. The transmitter and receiver units connect via standard RJ-45 ports, with separate DVI input and output connections for source and display integration.
Built-in equalization control allows for fine-tuning of the video image to compensate for cable length and signal degradation. The extender supports Full HD graphics modes and maintains compatibility with all operating systems without requiring additional software or drivers. External power supplies (input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 0.5A; output: 5V, 2A) are included for both transmitter and receiver operation.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, Number of Input Devices Supported, Number of Output Devices Supported, Graphics Modes. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
The B140-101X extender kit is particularly valuable in environments where source equipment and displays must be separated by significant distances. Its reliable performance and straightforward installation make it suitable for both permanent installations and temporary setups requiring extended video connectivity.
In corporate settings, this extender enables clean conference room installations where media sources can be housed in equipment racks while displays remain wall-mounted at presentation locations. For digital signage applications, it allows centralized control of multiple displays throughout a facility using existing network infrastructure. Educational institutions benefit from extending classroom computer signals to projection systems or large format displays at the front of rooms.
Conference Room AV
Extend laptop or media player signals to wall-mounted displays or projectors while keeping source equipment at instructor stations or equipment racks.
Digital Signage Networks
Distribute high-definition video content from centralized media players to multiple displays throughout retail spaces, lobbies, or transportation hubs.

FAQ
What maximum resolution does this DVI extender support?
The Tripp Lite B140-101X supports DVI-D Single-Link video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) at 60Hz. This makes it suitable for extending high-definition content from computers, media players, or other DVI sources to displays while maintaining image quality across the extended distance.
How far can I extend the video signal with this kit?
This extender kit supports maximum operating distances of 150 feet when transmitting 1920x1080 resolution at 60Hz, or 200 feet when transmitting 1024x768 resolution at 60Hz. These distances are achieved using 24AWG solid wire Category 5e or Category 6 twisted-pair cable between the transmitter and receiver units.
What type of cable do I need to connect the transmitter and receiver?
You need 24AWG solid wire Category 5e or Category 6 twisted-pair network cable to connect the transmitter and receiver units. Tripp Lite recommends their N202-Series cable for optimal performance. Standard stranded patch cables may not achieve the maximum distance or resolution capabilities.
Can I expand this system to support longer distances or more displays?
Yes, you can expand the system by adding B140-110 repeaters between the transmitter and receiver to further increase the operating distance. The modular design also allows for expanding to support additional monitors by incorporating appropriate distribution equipment in your AV setup.
Is any software or driver installation required?
No software or drivers are required for operation. This is a plug-and-play hardware solution that works with all operating systems. Simply connect the DVI source to the transmitter, run network cable to the receiver, connect the receiver to your display, and apply power to both units.
What is the equalization control and how do I use it?
The built-in equalization control allows adjustment of the video image to compensate for signal degradation over longer cable runs. A small screwdriver (included in the package) is used to make fine adjustments to optimize image quality based on your specific cable length and installation conditions.
What screen size is listed?
Tripp Lite series DVI over Cat5 Active Extender Kit - 1 Input Device - 1 Output Device - 200 ft (60960 mm) Range - 2 x Network (RJ-45) (B140-101X) is best judged through its screen, connectivity, and installation specifications, which help buyers confirm visual fit and deployment suitability.
