Standard Installation
3. Connect a monitor and speakers to a set of available output ports on the splitter
using a Tripp Lite DVI with 3.5 mm Audio Cable (P560-XXX-A Series) or a Tripp Lite
Single-Link DVI Cable (P561-Series) and 3.5 mm Audio cable (P312-Series).
4. Repeat step 3 for each additional set of monitor and speakers you are connecting to
the splitter.
5. Connect the included external power supply to the splitter and plug it into a
Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS). The Power LED will illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power.
6. Turn on the power to all connected monitors and speakers, then turn on the power
to the DVI and Audio source. The Input Port LED will illuminate to indicate it is
connected to a powered-on source. The Port LEDs will illuminate to indicate the
corresponding port is connected to a monitor and speakers and is receiving a signal
from the source.
Cascade Installation
The number of connected monitors and speakers can be expanded by cascading up
to three levels of splitters together. By cascading a B116-004A from each port in a
three-level installation, you can connect up to 64 sets of monitors and speakers. The
following rules apply to a cascade installation:
• The distance between the source and the splitter must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m).
• For source video resolutions anywhere from 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz to
1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. The distance between the first-level splitter and any last-
level splitter must not exceed 65 ft. (20 m). The video distance can be extended by
using a B120-000 DVI Extender in between each level of splitters. Each B120-000
Extender can be located up to 32 ft. (10 m) from a splitter and 16 ft. (5 m) from
the next level splitter or connected monitor.
• For source video resolutions lower than 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz. The distance
between the first-level splitter and any last-level splitter must not exceed 98 ft.
(30 m). The video distance can be extended by using a B120-000 DVI Extender in
between each level of splitters. Each B120-000 Extender can be located up to
98 ft. (30 m) from a splitter and 16 ft. (5 m) from the next-level splitter or
connected monitor.
• The B116-002A, B116-002A-INT and B116-004A are designed for monitor refresh
rates of 60 Hz.
