Troubleshooting
6
What 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. To achieve maximum
distance and resolution, 24AWG solid wire Cat5e/6 cable must be
used. Tripp Lite’s N202-Series Cat6 cables are made with 24AWG
solid wires, as are the N022-01K-GY (Cat5) and N222-01K-GY bulk
cables. For optimal image quality, use Zero-Skew cable, such as Tripp
Lite’s P524-01K. Also, the VGA cables you are using must support
the resolution you are trying to obtain. Inexpensive, low-quality VGA
cables may not support the maximum resolution. It is recommended
that you use Tripp Lite’s P502-Series VGA or P504-Series VGA +
audio cables, as they have been tested to work with Tripp Lite’s VGA
over Cat5 extender products.

Is your Cat5e/6 cabling wired to TIA 568B? Tripp Lite’s VGA over Cat5
extender products have been tested using Cat5e/6 cabling wired to
TIA 568B (all Tripp Lite Cat5e/6 cables are wired to TIA 568B). Using
cabling that is wired differently may affect performance.

Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example,
connect your VGA cables between a source and a monitor that
you know is working properly to see if the cable is functioning. For
Cat5e/6 cable, connect it between a computer and a network to
verify that it establishes a network connection. When testing your
cables, test them between the source and monitor(s) being used in
your installation. This will ensure that your source and monitor(s) are
compatible.

Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between the
transmitter and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s VGA over Cat5 extender
products were designed to be connected directly from the transmitter
to the receiver via UTP cable. The more connection points that are
between the source and the remote monitor, the more likely signal
degradation will occur, causing poor performance. If you have a patch
panel or other device in between, it should be removed from the
installation.
