• 4x4 HDMI over Cat6 matrix with four pigtail receivers: A single centralized switch paired with four compact receivers enables flexible distribution to multiple displays or zones, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter in busy environments.
• 4K 60 Hz, HDR, 4:4:4 color support: Delivers cinematic clarity, rich color accuracy, and smooth motion for diverse content—from corporate presentations and digital signage to high-end media and immersive demonstrations.
• Power over Cable (PoC) capability: Powers receivers over the Cat6 runs, minimizing the need for separate power outlets at each display location and streamlining installation in hard-to-reach or retrofit spaces.
• Long-reach distribution up to 230 ft (70.1 m): Ideal for multi-room installations, lecture halls, show floors, or retail environments where displays are distant from the source, while maintaining signal integrity and performance.
• TAA-compliant, professional-grade solution: Suitable for government procurement and enterprise deployments, designed to meet stringent compliance and reliability standards in demanding settings.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 4x4 HDMI over Cat6 Matrix Switch Kit

• Plan your layout: identify source devices (Blu-ray players, media servers, computers) and designate display locations to determine the ideal routing and receiver placement.
• Connect HDMI sources to the inputs on the matrix switch: use high-quality HDMI cables to ensure stable signal transmission and minimize potential interference.
• Run Cat6/Cat6a cables from the matrix switch to each of the four receiver locations: keep runs tidy, label each path, and maintain consistent cable diameter to optimize performance.
• Connect each pigtail receiver to its corresponding display device via HDMI, then attach power if not using PoC for any zone that requires it.
• Power on the matrix switch and receivers, and verify PoC is delivering power along the Cat6 runs where enabled. Use the on-screen menu or EDID settings to optimize resolution and color depth for each display.
• Configure display settings: ensure all displays are set to 4K 60 Hz with HDR and 4:4:4 where supported, and adjust EDID or content protection as needed to maintain compatibility across sources and sinks.
• Test signal integrity across all routes: check video, audio, lip-sync, and any multi-channel audio configurations. Verify that all destinations switch correctly and that signals maintain stability over the full 230 ft reach.
• Document the setup: record which inputs map to which outputs, note any quirks in EDID management, and confirm installation meets safety and building codes for the space.
