HDMI/DVI Over IP Transmitter

The Tripp Lite B160-001-HDSI converts HDMI audio and video into an IP-based signal for transmission over a dedicated Ethernet network switch. It uses Cat5 or Cat6 cabling to reach displays up to 328 ft away. The unit supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 including 1080p and includes RS-232 serial and IR control. It works with compatible B160 series receivers and requires no software or drivers.

Managed Switch Integration

Designed for managed network switches with IGMP support the transmitter distributes video and audio across the local network infrastructure. Signal quality remains consistent over the full 328 ft cable run using standard category cabling. RS-232 serial communication operates at baud rates up to 57600 Bps for reliable device control. The hardware-based conversion avoids latency introduced by software encoding layers.

Passive Cooling Operation

The transmitter operates without active cooling fans relying on its metal enclosure for heat dissipation during continuous use. Power consumption stays low as the unit performs signal conversion and network packetisation without heavy processing loads. Silent operation makes it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as conference rooms or control centres. No external power brick dimensions or specific wattage figures are provided in the specifications.

Questions about this item

Does the transmitter produce audible fan noise or excess heat when operated continuously over a 328 ft Cat6 link?

The unit is a solid-state IP transmitter with no moving parts, so it runs silently and generates only minimal warmth during all-day operation.

What network infrastructure must already be in place for this extender to function?

A managed Ethernet switch that supports IGMP is required; the transmitter connects to it via standard Cat5 or Cat6 cabling.

Will this transmitter work with a legacy DVI monitor that only accepts 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz?

Yes, the transmitter supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1440, which covers that DVI timing, and it carries both video and audio over the IP stream.
