Tripp Lite B156-002-DVI, B156-002-HDMI owner manual Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

4What length cables are you using? The B156-Series splitters have been tested at a maximum distance of 16 ft. between the source and splitter, and 35 ft. (25 ft. for B156-002) between the splitter and connected monitors. Exceeding these lengths can decrease performance

5What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in poor performance, so it is important that you use cables that can support the video resolution you are trying to obtain. It is recommended that you use the Tripp Lite cables shown in the Optional Accessories listing in this manual, as they have been tested to work with the B156- Series Splitters.

6Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example, connect your DisplayPort cables between a source and monitor that you know works to see if the cable is functioning.

7Are you using a VGA to DVI adapter with the B156-002-DVI? The B156-002-DVI supports DVI-D (Digital) only, and will not function if connected to a VGA monitor.

8If using a DVI to HDMI adapter with the B156-002-DVI or

B156-002-HDMI, you will only be able to transmit a video signal.

DVI does not support audio, and will not be able to send or receive an audio signal.
