To perform a cascaded installation:

1 Connect the fi rst-level splitter to the HDMI source (using the integral cable on the 2-port B118-302-R or a
P568-series cable with the 4-Port B118-304-R).
2 Using a P568-series cable, connect a B118-304-R splitter or a display to any available port on this fi rst level
splitter.
3 Using a P568-series cable, connect a B118-304-R splitter or a display to any open port of any second-level
splitters.
4 Using a P568-series cable, connect a display to any port on the third-level splitters.
5 Connect the Power Adapter to the fi rst-level splitter, plug it in, and power it ON.
6 Connect the Power Adapter to the second-level splitters, plug them in and power them ON.
7 Connect the Power Adapter to any third-level splitter, plug it in, and power it ON.
8 The Output Port LEDs will illuminate when the ports are connected to powered-on displays.
Notes:
a) ALL splitters in a cascaded installation must be connected to an AC power source.
b) The Power LED on the B118-304-R only will illuminate when the splitter is plugged into a power source.
c) Use only the power adapters that are included with the splitters.
d) It is recommended that you plug the power adapters into a Tripp Lite surge suppressor (sold separately).
e) Longer ranges are possible by using higher-gauge cable, or at resolutions lower than 1080p. Contact
Tripp Lite for more information.

2.3 Extending Distance to Connected Display

An HDMI extender or signal booster (Tripp Lite Model B122-000) can increase the distance between the
splitter and connected displays or cascaded splitters to up to 130 ft. (40 m) or more.* By placing a splitter
between each connection, the total distance between source and any display is 260 ft. (80 m) or more.*

Suggested Setup: Extended Standalone Installation
